Fans were bowled over tonight by 96-year-old Nora Barton, Britain’s Got Talent’s oldest ever contestant, who fulfilled her dream of performing at the London Palladium.

Nora, who has Alzheimer’s, left the judges, audience and viewers blown away by her performance, and fans at home think she should win the show.

The 96-year-old already had viewers hooked when she quipped to host Ant McPartlin that she was doing “nowt” when he asked her what she was up to on stage.

Helped on stage by Ant, Nora’s daughter Pam Dimbleby, 65, who accompanied her, revealed it was a dream for her mother to play there.

The great-grandmother was dressed to impress in a red top, floral skirt and a flower in her hair, before she belted out The Loveliest Night Of The Year from 1951 film The Great Caruso, with daughter Pam playing along on piano.

The nonagenarian was left thrilled as she was given a standing ovation, with Nora saying “thank you very much!”
