Child star Leah Barniville: 'Being on Britain's Got Talent at age 14 was like an out-of-body experience'
"Singer and actor Leah Barniville (23) from Dublin on her big break on the TV talent show, meeting Simon Cowell and her newest role in Christmas panto 'Cinderella'."
"I remember the very day my mam told me about Britain's Got Talent. I was sitting at my kitchen island after school, and she said, 'Oh I saw on Facebook today that Britain's Got Talent are accepting auditions by tape, and they're closing tomorrow'. She asked if she could send in a video of me singing. I was 14 at the time and being like a typical moody teenager. I said 'oh, there's no point. I'll ever get anywhere. I don't even watch it'."
Leah Barniville is a 23-year-old singer and actor from Dublin. She gained a major break through a TV talent show after an audition tape submission. At 14 her mother discovered Britain's Got Talent were accepting taped auditions and asked to send a video before the deadline. She was sitting at the kitchen island after school and initially resisted, feeling like a typical moody teenager and saying there was no point because she did not watch the show. The taped audition led to her meeting Simon Cowell and to a new role in the Christmas panto Cinderella.
