Piers Morgan has taken to Twitter to reminisce about the “magical moment” he watched Susan Boyle sing on Britain’s’ Got Talent.
Brits across the nation will remember the unforgettable audition, which saw the Scottish singer appear before Piers and fellow judges Amanda Holden and Simon Cowell back in 2008.
Susan left the panel stunned after belting out I Dreamed a Dream from the musical Les Misérables.

The singer had famously admitted to wanting Piers back in 2019, saying, “I want you mate. I want you – come this way, Piersy Baby,” but it seems that her tastes have matured since then.
In a rare appearance on Heart FM, the 60-year-old Boyle revealed that she now respects him but doesn’t fancy him anymore.
“When Susan came on, we thought at first she was a comedy act – and had rather dubious taste in men because she had a crush on Piers,” said Amanda Holden.
To this, Boyle grunted, “Who!” before Holden continued: “Exactly, that’s gone! You don’t fancy Piers anymore?” to which Susan replied, “I respect him, I don’t fancy him – I have grown up a bit now!”
