Watch the moment CBB’s Danny Beard broke down in tears after failed BGT audition as Simon Cowell brands him ‘weird’
THIS is the emotional moment that CBB’s Danny Beard broke down in tears on Britain’s Got Talent.
Before winning the fourth series of RuPaul‘s Drag Race UK, the performer took part in another long-running reality competition.
Danny, 32, first appeared on television when they auditioned for the tenth series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2016.
In the first round, they performed the song ‘Sweet Transvestite’ from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and David Walliams were all on their feet both during and after their belting performance.
During the comments, Simon Cowell apologised for putting his head in his hands after Danny received a standing ovation from the audience.
They impressed the judges so much, that Danny was sent through to the live semi-finals.
In the studio, they donned a monochrome diamond dress as they sang a ‘camp’ rendition of Bonnie Tyler’s Holding Out for a Hero.
Despite having both David and Amanda on their feet, Danny was given a buzzer by Simon Cowell.
He was left unimpressed as he remarked: “Danny, I liked your first audition because it was kind of musical, it was different.
“I liked the whole Rocky Horror thing, this, you standing like I don’t how I can describe how you look now, like a hill with all these weird dancers around you, just singing such a random song…
“I thought it was pointless, I have to be honest with you. You missed a fantastic opportunity to continue where you were from the first audition, to do something different and unique.”
The founding judge received boos from the audience as he added: “This was just cabaret.”
Meanwhile, David described their act as ‘fabulous’ as Alesha also had gushing praise.
However, the star broke down in tears as Amanda spoke about how impressed she was with their ‘incredible’ voice.
Tears streamed down their face as Ant and Dec read the voting phone numbers.
