Voice of an angel: 14-year-old Olivia wowed the Britain's Got Talent judges with her performance at the Manchester auditions of the talent show


A 14-year-old girl singer who 'daydreams' of being a star is being hailed as one of the favourites to win Britain's Got Talent.

Olivia, who appeared at one of the Manchester auditions, is regarded as being among the best singers on this year's show after performing Sarah McLachlan's In The Arms Of An Angel.

She will appear on tomorrow night's show after wowing judges with her voice as she took on the difficult song

On the programme she says: 'I walk downstairs singing, maybe sometimes daydream whilst in maths class. I wonder if in 5 years time I could be an actual star singing in front of millions of people.'

Also on Saturday's show are a stripping forklift truck driver with a nose problem and a young boyband.


Thrilled: Olivia is happy to hear high praise from judges Piers Morgan, Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden


Jeff, who has a bandage around his nose, tells Simon Cowell and the other judges he wants to leave his forklift truck driver day job to perform. He tells them: 'I'm Jeff, I'm 41-years-old, I'm here to sing and if this works out for me I won't be working in a warehouse again!'

Jeff explains to Piers Morgan about the bandage: 'I had an operation on it last week to sort it out because I was snoring a lot at home.'

His act sees him stripping and using a skipping rope to Nelly the Elephant music.

Best friends: Ruth and Chantelle, aka Different Dreams perform their version of Barbara Dickson and Elaine Paige's I Know Him So Well


Teen boyband Connected tell the panel they are 'called Connected because we are all like family, we're brothers, twins and friends.'

The group is made up of 13-year-old twins Conor and Miles, Matt, 12, Harry, 13, and Max, 15.

After singing Backstreet Boys hit song, I Want It That Way, Amanda tells them their performance gave her goosebumps.

Husband and wife Claire and Clive, also known as Flute Magic, combine flute playing and performing magic.

Best pals Ruth and Chantelle, whose act is called Different Dreams also appear.

The pair, who first met at a bus stop, rehears at Chantelle's house. She tells the judges her mum is deaf so she doesn't get bothered by the noise. They perform their version of Barbara Dickson and Elaine Paige's I Know Him So Well.

Amanda Holden is pumped up for Britain's Got Talent (and no, we're not talking about her lips)

By Daily Mail Reporter

Full of hot air: Amanda Holden gets made into a balloon fairy on this Saturday's Britain's Got Talent show

Earlier this week the size of Amanda Holden's lips aroused suspicions amongst some observors, but whether or not she's had them cosmetically enhanced remains a mystery.

However, on tomorrow's Britain's Got Talent she'll be hard pressed to deny that there are at least a few things on her that have been pumped up.

In this case though the talent show judge is merely made to wear some colourful balloons that have been expertly moulded and shaped during the auditions in Newcastle.


Suspicious: The actress looks unimpressed as the Balloon Brothers give her a handful of colourful balloons at the beginning of their act


An amusing act, cleverly named the Balloon Brothers, transform the actress into a fairy with the aid of their moulding balloons.

She joins the twosome on stage, where she plays along as their assistant before being given a pair of wings, a wand and a tiara...all made from balloons.

Unaware of what the Durham duo are doing, Amanda initially sports a confused look on her face as they kit her out in the pink balloon ensemble


Unaware: The judge wears a confused look on her face as the Balloon Brothers mould her into a fairy


Fairy good: Amanda beams as she realises she's been dressed up with a tiara, wings and a wand by the talented double act


However, once she realises that they are making her into a cute sugarplum fairy she wears a beaming smile, before returning to join Simon Cowell and Piers Morgan on the judging panel.

The twosome, Keith Stirman and Dominic Cassidy, make their intricate creations while playing music from the Blues Brothers movie.

They arrive on stage in a police car made entirely from balloons before calling Amanda up on to the stage.


Dream come true: Stephen Mulhern gets the jet pack he always wanted when the Balloon Brothers construct one for him

After their act they head backstage to make Stephen Mulhern a jet pack he's always wanted.

Actress Amanda Holden also likens Simon Cowell to the Prime Minister during a chat with Stephen.

She tells him how much she loves working on Britain's Got Talent, explaining that a particular perk is flying round the country on Simon's private jet.


Dog's life: This Saturday's show features yet another act featuring a talented dog - this time the pooch plays his owner's guitar


Stephen asks Amanda what the three judges talk about on the plane, she tells him: 'He (Simon) really does talk very openly about everything, his private deals he's doing, his American shows.

'I just sit there thinking, this is unbelievable...It's kind of like being with the Prime Minister. He's right at the centre of show business, he is the person that everybody wants.'

Stephen also falls foul of Piers Morgan when he wipes gold paint on the judge's £2000 suit.


Watch your lip! Amanda Holden's lips look a little plump around the edges as she's pictured leaving Zuma restaurant in Knightsbridge earlier this week


After lending a helping hand to paint a naked model he bumps into Piers backstage and manages to wipe gold body paint all down the arm of Piers suit and across his face.

A few days later Piers is seen re-telling the story to Amanda, whilst Stephen is there.

He tells her: 'Do you know how intelligent Stephen is? He covers his hands in gold paint, comes up to me and goes "Alright mate" (wiping hands down his arms) ruins my suit, goes "Alright son" (wiping his hands on face). Ruins a £2000 suit and covers my face in gold paint.'

As well as the Balloon Brothers and the naked model, viewers can expect to see another dog with talent this week as a pooch takes to the stage to play his owner's guitar.

Stylish Sarah Jessica Parker puts her best face forward at the ballet

By Daily Mail Reporter

Stylish and classy: Sarah Jessica Parker shows off her trademark fashionable look at the New York City Ballet last night


After the shocking picture of her craggy face emerged, Sarah Jessica Parker's outing last night provided her with an opportunity to put her best face forward.

The 45-year-old actress was seen recently showing off her hollowed cheeks, and gaunt face as she ran errands in New York.

And along with her Madonna-like bulging, veiny arms, speculation centred on whether a new intense workout regime was having a negative impact on her body.

But last night at the New York City Ballet's Annual Spring Galathe she reminded everyone just why she has a reputation for being one of the most stylish women on the planet.


Made up: The actress put her best face forward after revealing an unflattering barefaced look the other day


Wearing an emerald green cropped silk jacket over a nude lace dress, the actress looked her usual glamorous self.

She accessorised the outfit with a pair of rhinestone studded Alexander McQueen heels, and embroidered clutch bag as she walked the red carpet at the glamorous affair.

But there were tell tale heavy bags under her eyes, evidence if any that it's hard work being the mother of three children.

Since the birth via a surrogate of twins Tabitha and Marion last summer, Parker has been working hard filming back to back films Sex And The City 2, and doing heavy promotion on her flop rom-com with Hugh Grant Did You Hear About The Morgans?


On fire: Natalie Portman looked red hot in an asymmetric dress by designers Lanvin


Despite her very low weight, SJP has in the past refuted allegations that she barely eats and has admitted she finds it difficult to gain weight.

She told Fitness magazine recently: 'I'm always trying to put weight on. I eat everything.

'I’m just an eater and I love junk food. If it’s free, I honestly eat everything.'

Also in attendance was actress Natalie Portman who looked red hot in Lanvin at the event which was held at New York's Lincoln Centre.

The 28-year-old Star Wars actress came to the event to support her boyfriend, New York City Ballet principal dancer Benjamin Millepied who created the world-premiere ballet for NYCB.

Danielle Lineker's tanned legs are the toast of new bar launch in skimpy denim shorts

By Daily Mail Reporter

Model figure: Welsh underwear model Danielle Lineker has glowing skin and luscious hair at the launch of McQueens in east London last night


With legs as long as hers, Danielle Bux needs little more than a pair of high heels to get party ready.

The model wore an eye-catching pair of metallic ankle boots and denim mini shorts as she joined husband Gary Lineker for the launch party of a new bar last night.

With her naturally slender figure, the 30-year-old was the toast of the party.

The pair were joined by Jade Jagger at the launch of McQueens bar in east London, named after Steve McQueen.

Danielle was showing off a mahogany tan - a result of her recent holiday to Tenerife.

The break ended with a 24 hour journey home, after volcanic ash halted flights.

Bedtime: After happily posing for photographers, Danielle became camera shy


The couple and their five children boarded one of the few remaining flights from the island to Madrid, they then drove 343 miles to Bordeaux.

Gary’s sons George, 18, Harry, 17, Tobias, 14, Alex, 12, and Danielle’s daughter Ella, eight, all set off for the epic journey.

Once driving for seven hours to France, they then had to catch a train back to London, all so Gary could make it back to film Match Of The Day.

The frocks that made Posh's fashion critics eat their words

By Karen Kay

Personal style: Victoria Beckham's latest collection includes a red jersey dress with folded neck (left), a lamé chiffon and jersey asymmetric dress (centre), and Posh in one of her own designs at this year's Vanity Fair Oscar party (right)


It was not so long ago that Victoria Beckham was treated like a pariah in fashion circles.

Stylists sneered at the former Spice Girl's outfits and designers refused to loan her clothes, whispering that her endorsement was the kiss of death.

But Mrs Beckham has undergone one of the biggest fashion reincarnations since Burberry was transformed from a dowdy Home Counties staple into an international celebrity favourite.

As her fourth collection was presented in London yesterday, at Mayfair's Savile Club, stylists and editors ate low-fat slivers of humble pie while running the rule over dresses they now covet.

Two rails of frocks, each bearing her signature brass zip down the spine, drew admiration from even the most cynical fashionistas.

While the collection's structured simplicity had much in common with her previous ones, it revealed that Posh's designs have developed.

There was intricate seaming and more diaphanous fabrics such as chiffons and lamés


Fit for a lady: A twisted drape dress with corset bodice (left), a silk jersey with grosgrain embroidery (centre), and a fitted frock with fold detail in emerald felt (right)


Origami-influenced sheath dresses in heavy rib jerseys nestled alongside glossy raffia tweeds tailored into understated dresses that owe more than a nod to a young Grace Kelly or Tippi Hedren.

Such pared-down silhouettes cut with the precision of a master tailor have become her look, and it seems she's on to a winner.

'The clothes rarely reach the shop floor,' said a spokesman. 'Clients see the collection and put their names down in advance, so it's unusual to see the pieces merchandised in retail spaces - they're sold before they can get there.'

And that's despite the high price tags - an 'entry level' dress from the current collection costs £1,000, while prices for the more intricate gowns start at £4,000.


Floating along: The 'Cloud' frock in a blurred pixel print (left), silk crepe column dress in sapphire (centre), and a floor-length belted trench dress in lamé chiffon (right)


Why? These are grown-up clothes for sophisticated women - high-profile fans include Elle Macpherson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Hudson - and they cater for even the more voluptuous figures within the English sizes six to 14.

Like any designer at the helm of a burgeoning fashion business, Victoria employs a team to help translate her style into a commercial collection, but one of her design assistants said yesterday: 'From the shade of teal that's just so, to the weight of the lamÈ for the bodice of a dress, Victoria is in control every step of the way.'

Certainly, what Posh wants, she gets. While there are no plans for theatrical catwalk shows yet, her empire is slowly expanding, into sunglasses and denim

And with predicted sales of £7.5million in the next three years, it seems she is now a fashion force to be reckoned with.
