Gary Barlow admits he “got that one wrong” over Let It Shine favourite Curtis T Johns after giving him four stars
Singer songwriter was one of the stand out auditionees from Saturday night
GARY Barlow has admitted he got it wrong over one of Let It Shine's stand out contestants.
During the second episode of the BBC talent show, which seeks to find five boys to form a boyband for a Take That musical, 22-year-old Curtis T Johns performed Put Your Records On.
He secured 19 out of a total of 20 stars from Gary and his fellow judges Dannii Minogue, Amber Riley and Martin Kemp, with the Take That frontman being the only one to give him a 4 to stop him getting a perfect score.
But it seems after watching the show, Gary had a change of heart about Curtis' performance.
The auditionees fans can breath a sigh of relief though, as the 45-year-old admitted he should have given him five stars as well.
