Sally was 12 and her grandad John was 76 when they walked onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage together as Two Grand. The duo from Doncaster had been singing together for two years.
Sally admitted that learning new songs took her grandad quite a while, because he needed time to remember the words. John had been a singer for more than 50 years, and his biggest ambition had always been to perform at the Royal Variety. Now his dream was to do it with his granddaughter by his side.
Sally said she felt more confident with her grandad next to her, because she knew he would always pull her through. For John, singing with Sally meant everything. He had lost his wife a year earlier, after 54 years of marriage, and before the audition he talked to her photograph and asked her to bring them luck 💔.
They sang A Whole New World from Aladdin, trading lines and smiling at each other. The audience clapped along and cheered for the pair from start to finish.
One judge said the competition was about people like them, who come out and totally charm an audience, and that you cannot buy that kind of natural charm. Another admitted they did not expect it to be that good and said they would love to see them on the Royal Variety Show. One judge joked it was like seven sugars in a coffee, a little too sweet, but the yeses came one after another and Two Grand went through to the next round ❤️.
