Jamie Gilpin, 16, and his mother Melanie have proved an unexpected hit on Britain's Got Talent. But most teenage boys would be horrified by the idea of singing love songs with their mums.
Their performances last Saturday and Sunday evenings left the judges raving and the public phoning in their thousands to vote them through to the finals. But the rave reviews were marred by a few unkind jibes. While some social media commentators posted about the 'special bond' between mother and son, others described their first audition - in which they sang love song Say Something by American duo A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera - and their handholding in the semi-finals (to Miley Cyrus's The Climb) as 'cringe-worthy' and 'uncomfortable'.
