Britain’s Got Talent viewers were impressed by opposite ends of the age spectrum with teenagers and pensioners getting the best reviews.
Two of the most popular singers auditioning in Saturday’s episode were Destiny Chukunyere and Leah Barniville, both 14 but with very different singing styles.
Former Junior Eurovision Song Contest champion Destiny, from Malta, sang Aretha Franklin’s Think, while Leah went for the operatic classic Caruso.
@BGT PLEASE you need to put the 2 14 year old girl singers together on stage. Destiny & Leah ! Would be out of this world ! X

Leah and Destiny are both 14 and they can sing like that. I feel sick with jealousy ?? #BGT #BritainsGotTalent

Kyle Tomlinson, 15, returned to prove to judge David Walliams he was talented after being told by the comedian to get some singing lessons at a previous audition when he was 12.He got his wish when David pressed the golden buzzer, choosing Kyle as the act he wanted to champion through to the next round.
Get knocked back, come back stronger than ever. Well done, Kyle! He sure showed David he was wrong! And deserved that Golden Buzzer! #BGT

But showing that success was not only for the young were The Pensionaires, a duo aged 75 and 84.They were a hit with viewers who deemed them to be the ideal choice to win.
That's it @BGT – the perfect act for the @RoyalVariety #performance #Pensionaires . Absolutely heart-warming. Loved them ??
