Speaking to the judges ahead of his audition, Will said: “For the last 18 years of my life, I've been addicted to this show. I've had Britain's Got Talent themed birthday parties, I’ve had a Britain's Got Talent themed bedroom with a Simon Cowell bobblehead which took pride of place.”

He said performing at the Royal Variety Performance, an opportunity given to the winner, would be “beyond his biggest dreams”.

Will’s audition included incredible Gogglebox, Big Brother, David Attenborough and Gary Barlow impressions.
