‘MY DREAM’ 

Irish teen just misses out on Britain’s Got Talent final as harpist ‘still can’t believe’ she made show & thanks viewers

A TALENTED Irish teen has narrowly missed out on making the Britain’s Got Talent final.

Harpist Niamh Noade, from Co Armagh, came second in the public vote in the semi final.

The 17-year-old, from Lislea, played the harp in the third semi-final tonight.

The musical teenager was pitted against performance group Antigravity, daredevil act Liwei Yang, The Lux City Choir, dance group Mega Unity, acrobatic act Mizuki Shinagawa, dance group Playground and comedian Ted Hill.

She performed her version of Philip Oakey’s Together in Electric Dreams.

And it proved popular with viewers, securing her second place in the overall public vote.

Sadly, however, Niamh lost out to Ant and Dec‘s favourite – comedian Ted Hill.

After the results were revealed, she thanked all the viewers for their support.

She also paid tribute to her family, who were there to see her performance.

Speaking after her BGT audition aired earlier this year, she revealed to Belfast Live that she was blown away by the support she had received from Northern Ireland.

She said: “I can’t believe it. Everyone’s been so supportive, like, I’ve got so many messages about it.

“Britain’s Got Talent has always been my dream – I did The Voice Kids a few years ago, but I think I really was just working up to this.

“I’ve been watching Britain’s Got Talent for years and I didn’t really think that it would happen. I thought it was just out of my reach, so I couldn’t even believe when it actually happened.

“It was just amazing to be able to perform on Britain’s Got Talent. I still can’t really believe it, to be honest.”
