Have you ever wondered what happened to the young singer who broke out crying on the Britain’s Got Talent stage? Here’s where she is now in 2025.
Hollie Steel’s History on BGT
This singer first took the Britain’s Got Talent stage in the craziest way. She took the stage in a pink tutu, with a dance segment. Simon Cowell’s hand was ready to hit the Red Buzzer, until Hollie began singing “I Could Have Danced All Night” from My Fair Lady.
Hollie quickly became a fan favorite on her season. In the semifinals, the pressure of the live show was too much for her. In the middle of singing “Edelweiss” Hollie froze and began to cry. Noticing something was wrong with the contestant, Cowell promised to find time for Hollie’s second performance.
In no surprise, Hollie advanced to the final, where she sang “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again” from Phantom of the Opera. She ultimately finished the show out in sixth place.
