The Britain's Got Talent judges and audience were moved to tears as the son of a former winner followed in his father's talented footsteps. The final audition show of the series on Saturday night (May 28) instalment of the ITV show saw Attraction Juniors take to the stage to win the hearts of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.
Back in 2013 the shadow theatre group Attraction founded by Zoltan Szucs, who use their bodies to create shadows to tell stories, won the popular ITV talent show. And nine years on Zoltan's son Martin and his troupe Attraction Juniors took to the stage.
Attraction Juniors pulled on heartstrings with a powerful performance that highlighted the important issue of bullying. As the studio audience watched many were overcome with emotion and Alesha and Amanda were in tears on the judging panel.
