Amanda Holden, the judge of Britain’s Got Talent, had some strong words for Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently. After watching the Post Office choir, Hear Our Voices, win in the semi-final, Amanda was moved to speak out. The choir, made up of subpostmasters affected by the Horizon Scandal, really touched her heart with their performance.
In a passionate moment, Amanda expressed her feelings, saying, “You turn something so awful, such a traumatic experience, into something so joyful.” She didn’t hold back when she called on Keir Starmer to take action as Prime Minister, urging him to make a difference now. The emotional impact of the choir’s performance was clear, and it resonated with both the judges and the audience in the theatre.
The judges, including Bruno, Alesha, and Simon, all had their own reactions to the choir’s performance. Bruno empathized with the subpostmasters, calling their ordeal “unimaginable” and demanding that justice be served. Alesha expressed her happiness that the group had each other for support, while Simon was outraged by the injustice of the scandal. He praised the choir for turning something negative into a positive experience, but he didn’t hold back in condemning those responsible for the scandal. The judges’ reactions highlighted the emotional impact of the choir’s performance and the importance of seeking justice for those affected.
