Britain’s Got Talent viewers were stunned after the identity of Noodle was finally revealed.
The animated feline had judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli equal parts amazed and confused during their audition after belting out Nina Simone’s Feeling Good.
‘My name is Noodle. I wanted to come and audition for Britain’s Got Talent because there are so many dogs made famous by the show, I thought it was time you saw a talented cat,’ they told the crowd.
Viewers provided endless theories over who could be behind the animation and Thursday’s semi-final.
During the act’s performance, they belted out the James Bond classic Live and Let Die and before we knew it, last year’s runner up Tom Ball carried on singing.
A rather stunned Simon said: ‘I swear to God I never knew who was behind the cat. I’m slightly disappointed it’s not a singing cat if I’m honest. If you don’t win the show, just come back as a singing cat! You have never sung better than that.’
TV personality Amanda gushed: ‘You’ve gone from geography teacher to drama teacher. Super sexy glow up, amazing voice, great energy.’
BGT fans had mixed opinions about Tom’s comeback, with one person writing: ‘Lovely to see Tom Ball – I dont think its unfair of him to be on the show anymore than the dancing groups who are professional, the singers who already have a career, or the comedians who are already established. Its seems the common theme on.’
‘I TOLD YOU ALL IT WAS TOM BALL FROM THE START AHAHAHHA NEVER FORGET A VOICE LIKE THAT WHEN YOU HEAR IT.’
Elsewhere, others slammed the moved after Tom revealed that he ‘signed a record deal’ this year and toured the US.
‘Dont get me wrong I really really like Tom Ball but who’s idea was thisssss,’ one person tweeted.
‘Tom ball is honestly an amazing singer but he was 2nd last year, then he did agt champions show and now he’s back again?? seems a bit off,’ another weighed in.
Shortly after his 2022 stint, the singer returned to the talent franchise in the New Year as part of America’s Got Talent’s All Stars edition.
He competed alongside 2022 winner Axel Blake, runner-up Jamie Leahay, and poet Aneeshwar.
