Britain's Got Talent's Connie Talbot , who melted hearts as a six year old in the show's first series, has grown up to be quite the sensation. The now-24 year old from Sutton Coldfield, who once brought the judges to tears with her angelic voice, boasts an impressive following of over 307,000 fans – a a far cry from her debut on BGT back in 2007. In a recent Instagram post, Connie looks stunning as she poses in a black swimsuit, bathed in warm sunlight as she appears to be on holiday.
She's best known for her stunning performance of Over the Rainbow from The Wizard Of Oz, which left Simon Cowell , Amanda Holden , and Piers Morgan in awe during the final. Connie was neck and neck with opera singer Paul Potts to win the title. Simon Cowell had nothing but praise for Connie, calling her "pure magic" and even suggesting he'd help her make "£1 million-plus this year".
Despite having no professional training, Connie's initial audition won over the judges and garnered international media attention. Post-BGT fame saw Connie release her first album, Over the Rainbow, which sold 250,000 copies and charted at number 35 in the UK, while topping the charts in Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan. She followed up with a Christmas album and two more albums by 2012.
Connie made a comeback on BGT in 2019 for The Champions series, although she didn't reach the final. She later took part in America's Got Talent: The Champions where she performed the single live on stage. Connie – who last ye.
