Bgt's Alice Fredenham: 'The Voice UK made me look fake'
7 hours ago | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
Britain's Got Talent's Alice Fredenham has hit out at The Voice UK for making her appear "fake".
The singer said that she was upset when her blind audition aired as it made her feel like a "pawn" between the two rival shows, The Sun reports.
Fredenham was first seen by viewers auditioning for Britain's Got Talent and explaining to judges about her crippling stage fright.
Her audition for The Voice UK, filmed beforehand, was later aired on the BBC show and Fredenham appeared confident.
She revealed: "I was upset when The Voice showed my blind audition because I did feel a bit like a pawn between two shows.
"I can see why people might think my nerves on Britain's Got Talent were tactical and if I was watching as a viewer I might think that too.
"But I was completely honest in both auditions, and it's a case of »
Stephen Mulhern's 'Britain's Got Talent' blog - final auditions
13 hours ago | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
It's the time of year on Britain's Got Talent that I start getting nervous. The live shows are so close and the reality with live TV is that anything can happen and on ITV2 it most probably will! We have so much planned for the show, and although I'm nervous, I'm also very excited.
We always have a laugh going live. I remember when we had the Chuckle Brothers on Bgmt, it's the only time I have been completely out of control with hysterical laughter. Go to YouTube and type in Chuckle Brothers on Britain's Got More Talent and you will see why.
Hopefully there'll be fun stuff like that again this year. David Walliams is so unpredictable anyway, and when we go live he can't be edited so... watch this space
You can't imagine how much work goes into both Bgt and Bgmt for the live shows. It's mind blowing. »

24 May 2013 2:00 AM, PDT | Virgin Media - TV | See recent Virgin Media - TV news »
Simon Cowell is ''dreading'' the 'Britain's Got Talent' live finals. The music mogul joked he is concerned about how fellow judge David Walliams will act when the cameras are rolling in the forthcoming semi-final stages of the competition, because he has got ''more big headed'' and is ''more fragile'' than last year. When asked by 'Britain's Got More Talent' host Stephen Mulhern how much competitive nature between the judges there will be in this year's live shows, 'Bgt' panellist Amanda Holden said: ''A lot!'' Simon quipped: ''I'm dreading it. I think David has got a) more difficult, b) definitely more big »
'Britain's Got Talent': Who do you want to win?
23 May 2013 8:43 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
The Britain's Got Talent auditions are always a mixed bag when it comes to entertainment. There's only so much that the horsing around of David Walliams and Simon Cowell can do to mask the mediocre talent and predictable sob stories.
However, when it comes to the live semi-finals, the show morphs into an entirely different and much more enjoyable beast. Tears, bust-ups, disastrous novelty acts who don't seem quite so funny second time around and Walliams prancing around Cowell like Frankie Howard on speed.
Unlike The X Factor it is nigh on impossible to predict the results on Britain's Got Talent. Susan Boyle and Ronan Parke looked like dead certs to be singing for the Queen, but came up short in their finals.
And who makes it through from the semi-finals is even harder to predict. The luck of the draw - the first and final heat are usually the »

Britain's Got Talent star Aliki Chrysochou has given a message of hope to other sufferers of the neurological disease that left her paralysed.
The classical singer, who received a standing ovation for her rendition of 'Bring Me To Life' on Saturday's (May 18) show, urged those struck down with focal encephalitis to "have faith and just be strong".
"Since Saturday I've had a few messages from people saying their children still haven't recovered fully," she said.
"All I could say is everything is in God's hands, and if you have faith and just be strong, everything will be okay soon."
Chrysochou went on to comment that she felt like she'd "burst with happiness" during her Britain's Got Talent audition, and said she would like to put a classical spin on a contemporary pop song if she gets through the semi-finals.

21 May 2013 4:11 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
Strictly Come Dancing professional Ola Jordan has said she wants Tulisa Contostavlos to compete on the show if she is axed from The X Factor.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Jordan said that Contostavlos would be welcomed to X Factor's rival show with open arms.
"Tulisa, she'd be lovely in Strictly," Jordan said. "I think she'd be quite good."

Jordan also stated her belief that ITV's promise not to schedule The X Factor against Strictly this year is a sign that her show has won the long-fought ratings battle.

Eddie Braben, Morecambe and Wise writer, dies aged 82
21 May 2013 3:30 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »

London, May 21: Music reality TV show "Britain's Got Talent" contestant Maarty Broekman says he wants to make music with judge Alesha Dixon.
The eccentric Dutchman auditioned shirtless - he came dressed in a red leather jacket and sequinned leather trousers. He impressed the judges when he sang classic tune "Backdoor Lover".

He has promised to write a new song especially for the finale if he gets through.

Eurovision contest on song for BBC1
20 May 2013 3:07 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Bonnie Tyler failed to impress at the musical extravaganza in Sweden, but the show was still watched by nearly 8m in the UK
The traditional poor showing for the UK's Eurovision entrant, Bonnie Tyler, did not stop BBC1's live coverage averaging nearly 8 million viewers on Saturday night.
BBC1's Eurovision Song Contest averaged 7.7 million viewers and a 35.3% audience share over three and a half hours from 8pm.
The annual cheesefest was overshadowed by ITV's Britain's Got Talent (7.30pm-8.45pm: 9.2 million/40.1%) early on, but otherwise ruled the roost ratings-wise on Saturday evening, reaching a five-minute peak of 9.3 million viewers.
ITV competition later in the evening included The Cube (3.4 million/14.3%) and The Jonathan Ross Show (1.8 million/8.6%).
Eurovision ratings were very similar to last year, when an average of 7.5 million tuned in (36.2%).
Earlier in BBC1's Saturday schedule, series seven of the revived Doctor Who bowed out with 5.5 million viewers and a 25.9% audience share, »
