79-year-old Paddy shocked the judges on Britain’s Got Talent
EVERYONE was laughing when 79-year-old Paddy walked onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage, but a few minutes later they were giving her a standing ovation.
A 79-year-old woman is the favourite to win Britain’s Got Talent after wowing the judges in the opening episode.
When the grandma named Paddy walked onto the stage with her dance partner Nico, the crowd started sniggering and judge Simon Cowell looked bored beyond belief.
But when the gravity defying granny started getting thrown around in the air and sliding on the floor during her salsa routine, the audience rose to their feet and the judges were left in shock.
“It was all kind of slow and normal, and then it went ballistic,” said Cowell, who gave the senior citizen a standing ovation.
Paddy took up dancing when she was two-and-a-half years old, but gave it up when she got married.
When her husband died, Paddy started dancing again, and she’s showing no signs of stopping.
“You’re an amazing example to older people because you’ve shown that however old you are you can still be spectacular and beautiful and do something amazing,” said judge David Walliams.
