Mum of Britain’s Got Talent 2012 star Malaki Paul has insisted that he has enough support to be OK for the live shows.
The 9-year-old won a place in callbacks at the weekend, although it was an emotional audition which saw Malakai break down in tears when he first attempted to sing the song.
But mum Toni-Anne insists: “I think he will cope just fine as he has a very strong network behind him.
“Not only does he have our family but a very strong network of support from his school. We all want to keep him grounded and happy. Lots and lots of practice will help him overcome nerves.”
Malakai is the youngest of this year’s contestants so far, and will find out if he makes the live shows at the weekend.
His mum explains: “I realised Malakai had this special voice when he was about seven years old. We were both part of the local church choir and his voice just really stood out during practices.
“I’ve always sung since I was little, it’s something I’ve always loved doing. We’re a very musical family.”
Britain’s Got Talent 2012 airs this Saturday and Sunday night on ITV1.
