Loren Allred was triumphant on Thursday night’s semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent after winning the public vote amid claims her involvement in the show had fixed.

The singer, 32, who unveiled herself as the singer of The Greatest Showman hit Never Enough earlier in the series, sailed through to the next round after receiving the most votes from the public.

She was followed by dancers Five Star Boys who received votes from judges David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden, leaving invisible illusionist The Phantom to leave the competition.
