The former Misteeq rapper continued: "And I am telling you now, boys, this is just the beginning, so please, please try and be proud. I love you, I really really love you. "

All the judges seconded Alesha's praise with Simon Cowell telling the boys it was their ";best performance" to date, despite the blunder.

The duo ended the critiques with a smile on their faces.

Flintz, 23, from , and Taylor, 17, from , told the judges they met on social media during the coronavirus lockdown.

They are a piano and rap combo, who write their own songs, and have proved a big hit on BGT.

In their audition, Alesha was left emotional by Flintz's lyrics about avoiding gang activity, pressed the Golden Buzzer.

While the lads bonded during lockdown, they only met for the first time on the day of the audition.

Flintz explained that he'd asked his mate to come to the audition to accompany him, but the producers thought they were a team.
