Britain's Got Taent 2012: Chelsea Redfern rejected again

Chelsea Redfern (Britain's Got Talent 2012)

Singer Chelsea Redfern was seen in tears on Britain’s Got Talent tonight, after she was rejected again from one of Simon Cowell’s talent shows.

The performer had auditioned for The X Factor last year, singing True Colours at auditions in Cardiff.

But despite receiving a standing ovation and glowing comments from the judges – including Take That’s Gary Barlow – Chelsea was cut at the last stage of bootcamp.

Appearing on BGT this year, the 18-year-old wowed again with her voice, performing Prince track Purple Rain.

Simon raved: “When I heard you were young to sing Purple Rain, I thought it was a risk, but you’ve got something quite distinct in your voice. You sound like a pop star and look like a pop star.”

But tonight saw Chelsea cut again before the live shows, with only Ant and Dec to comfort her.
