She said she had no idea her audition would be shown during the first episode, describing it as “perfect timing”.
Amy received a standing ovation from judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli on last night’s programme.
Simon told her, “It just doesn’t happen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone so connected to an audience in all my years of doing this. Whatever happens next, it will be great. Really, you deserve this.’
While Amanda added, “The moment you started singing I was covered in goosebumps. I was thinking your baby is probably sleeping soundly there and she’s gone “oh here we go!”. You are a star.’
