Britain's Got Talent winners Attraction return with new generation - leaving fans 'in tears'

A new generation of drama troupe Attraction has returned to the Britain's Got Talent where, nine years ago, they were named winners.

The group, from Budapest in Hungary, stunned with heartbreaking shadow performances back in 2013. And now original group leader Szűcs Zoltán has formed a youngsters' version of the original group.

Appearing on BGT on Saturday night, their moving performance left viewers at home feeling very emotional, The Mirror reports.

Appearing on the stage, Szűcs' son Martin revealed that they were 'Attraction Juniors' and that his dad was backstage with Ant and Dec.

The original group has left viewers and judges alike in tears over their heartbreaking shadow performance depicting the tragic story of two lovers. Attraction went on to perform at the Royal Variety Show and achieved huge success after their performance was viewed by millions.

And while the Junior performers may be younger, it seems they are just as good at hitting their audience in the feelings.

The group, aged between 10 and 19, performed an emotive routine to Tomorrow by Marisha Wallace. The moving performance focused on bullying and the impact of social media on kids and teens. It certainly struck a chord with many views on Twitter.

One said: "@BGT the bullying piece had me in tears - my brothers depression started by being bullied at school for being gay and look what happened to him in adult life - great message #BeKind #BGT."

While another said: "9 years ago Attraction had me in tears, tonight Attraction Juniors had me in tears again. Absolutely beautiful #BGT."

One viewer said: "Absolutely crying buckets here", while another called it "breathtaking" and the "best audition of the series by far".

The judges seemed impressed too - and even the young stars backed themselves. Quizzed on who was better, his troupe or the adults, Martin hesitantly said that they were better as the judges said they "loved that".

The group received a standing ovation, with Amanda Holden saying that she thought the piece was "very relevant" and that she "loved the message".

"It was very simple," she said. "I think you're an absolute inspiration - well done."

Alesha Dixon added: "The fact that you're using what you do, your talents, to make a difference and put out positive messages - I applaud you, I love that you're Attraction Juniors. We fell in love with what came before you and I'm excited about your future now as well."

Appearing to notice that some of the group themselves were tearful, Simon Cowell said: "I love this audition. I can actually see how moved a lot of you are - you felt the audience reaction and I love moments like that."
