Shaun Smith the next Mick Hucknall?

Student Shaun Smith has won comparisons to Mick Hucknall after wowing the Britain’s Got Talent judges with his audition.

The 17-year-old – who will be seen on Saturday’s show – only auditioned on the advice of his grandmother, but won raves from the panel.

“You remind me of Mick Hucknall ,” Simon Cowell told him, “but good-looking. You’ve got a very authentic sounding voice.”

However Amanda Holden had some constructive advice for the teenager after picking up on his body language. “Take your hands out your pockets and believe in yourself,” she said.

Shaun told the Sun, “I’ve been singing as long as I can remember but I’ve never sung at anything this big before.”

“My mates get me nervous as they could rip me to shreds.”

Other highlights of Saturday night’s show are set to include Merlin Cadogan, who warns the judges that his Houdini act could prove fatal, opera singing waiter Greg Pritchard and an act called Mr Methane – who appals the panel with his ‘windy’ rendition of the Blue Danube waltz.

“You are a disgusting creature,” Simon told him.
