London, May 8 (ANI): A new star has emerged on Britain’s Got Talent -and she’s being touted as Susan Boyle Senior.

Janey Cutler, 81, who hails from Scotland just like Boyle, was a hit at her Glasgow audition, reports The Mirror.

Janey, who has 7 children and 12 grandchildren, told the show’s hosts Ant and Dec, “I like singing, my friends say go in for it, better late than never. I’ve had a great life, seven kids, hard times, happy times, no regrets.”

“When I suggested that she enter Britain’s Got Talent Janey wasn’t sure at first. She said, ‘What, at my age’,” her friend and musical director Terry Moore said.

“But she entered online and the judges loved her. She sounds like Shirley Bassey in her heyday, only better. She has a really unique voice. It’s special,” he added.

The pensioner from Wishaw in Lanarkshire wowed show’s judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan with her version of Edith Piaf’s Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien. Piers described it as “astonishing” and “spine-tingling”. (ANI)
