A pensioner who twice tried to become the MP for Hemel Hempstead has covered a Stormzy track during the Britain’s Got Talent auditions. In scenes that will air in Saturday’s episode, 82-year-old Barry Newton tried to impress judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon with a rendition of the grime artist’s song Shut Up. Newton said he was auditioning for the show to prove he was still alive and can still do something. She was called up on to the stage by magician Maddox, 31, to help him impress her and the rest of the panel. Britain’s Got Talent continues on ITV at 8pm on Saturday.
