Has anybody got any ideas?
Why don't we change Golden Buzzer to "Holden Buzzer"?
What about a giant air balloon with my face on it?
What about a big party? Yes!
And invite loads of talent. Ah...
I've got a mate with a house big enough,
and he loves a good party.
So, is that a yes to the air balloon?

Oh, Dennis. What did you think, Simon?
What age were you when you discovered
that those things could make those noises?
Er, about 12 years old.
LAUGHTER
And did you just suddenly go, "A hose can be a trumpet"?
I was playing at school and one of the students said to me,
"Have you ever tried a hosepipe?" So I did.
Of course. And it went from there.
LAUGHTER
Dennis, it just reminded me of good old-fashioned entertainment.
I just think there is no other show on Earth
where you'd be able to play a hosepipe.
This is perfect for Britain's Got Talent.
I'm gonna kick this off with a yes.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you.
I'm definitely saying yes. Thank you. Thank you.
Bruno? It's such a waste of wind.

Trip Hazard. AUDIENCE: Aw...

so I'm back to show something different with Strike.
Since I've been on the show, I've become a mum.
I've got a three-year-old little boy called Ethan.
Everybody thinks that the dogs are difficult.
The dogs are so easy.
If only I could work out how to train a toddler,
it would all be fine. SHE LAUGHS
I have a really, really close relationship with Strike.
You do a bit of singing, don't you? Can you sing?
STRIKE WHINES
That's a crap one, really, but... SHE LAUGHS
Coming back to the show this year, having had a kid,
it definitely gives it a bit more meaning.
I want to show him that he can follow his dreams
and follow his passion.
And I really would like to go one step further
and maybe win this time.
APPLAUSE What happened to Trip?
Trip's great. Trip is doing fantastic. He's grown.
LAUGHTER Yeah, yeah.
So, who is this one? So, this is Strike... Strike.
..and he's a five-year-old Border Collie.
He looks very smart. AUDIENCE: Aw...
He's already doing his thing.
He is, isn't he? Oh, my goodness me.
