Simon Cowell was in floods of tears as he was
reunited with Britain’s Got Talent hero Julia Carlile two years after paying
for her life-changing £175,000 surgery.
Julia shot straight to
the BGT semi-finals with dance troupe MerseyGirls after telling judges Simon,
David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon she was hoping to use the
£250,000 prize money to pay for an operation to correct her spine, and
subsequently save her career.
After the group lost
out, Simon flew Julia out to the USA so she could get the procedure she needed.
Two years later, the
17-year-old was back on stage for Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions, back
flipping across the stage at London’s Wembley Arena, prompting the music mogul
to sob.
According to The Sun,
Amanda pushed her co-star to say some words before he choked up.
‘All I want to talk
about is one person’s strength and, beyond that, the friendship and support you
all have, which we saw the first time we met you,’ he began, before his voice
cracked.
‘To
see you able to come back tonight… it just means everything.’ Alesha gave
MerseyGirls her Golden Buzzer back in 2017 so was just as moved by their epic
comeback.
She added: ‘That just made my heart soar.
Simon, I love you, I love what you’ve done
for her.’
‘I thought that now I
would be at home not dancing for the rest of my life,’ Julia enthused.
‘But
here I am back flipping with my best friends. ‘I couldn’t walk two years ago
and now I am here.
‘Simon,
thank you so much.
I
don’t think I have ever been so happy as I am right now.’
Metro.co.uk
confirmed MerseyGirls would be joining the first ever all-star series of
Britain’s Got Talent, where they will battle it out with the likes of Colin
Thackery, Ashley and Sully, Stavros Flatley and magician Richard Jones.
Susan
Boyle, however, has been forced to withdraw from the competition over
scheduling conflicts. Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions is expected to air on
ITV later this year.
