Who is Hollie Booth?

What is Hollie Booth doing on Britain's Got Talent?

Hollie auditioned with her dance group, RISE Unbroken.

The youngster performed in a wheelchair while wearing T-shirts bearing the Manchester Bee.

The rest of the dance group also incorporated wheelchairs into their routine, which was set to a medley of Ariana Grande songs.

The wheelchairs were borrowed from the Red Cross.

When she entered the stage, Hollie said: "It’s always difficult coming to Manchester.

"This is the first time I’ve been anywhere that’s like an arena, it’s hard.”

Hollie returned to the city to fulfil her dream of being a dancer.

What did the judges think of her audition?

Head Judge Simon Cowell said of the audition: “To get through what you went through and come here and turn a negative into a positive is incredible.

“You’ve come on and shown what you’re made of.

"This will inspire a lot of people. I salute you.”

Amanda Holden and Alesha were left in tears following the moving audition.

Ant McPartlin was also among those who struggled to contain his emotion.

Hollie, who was filmed at Manchester’s Lowry Theatre in February, suffered catastrophic injuries in the terror blast, sustaining internal injuries and severe nerve damage – breaking her knee, leg and foot.
