It comes as Stacey toldThe Mirror: “My voice is only just coming back.

“I am still actually on. I haven’t been able to sing properly.

“I have been a bit concerned about this weekend but, hopefully, I’ll be able to do it.”;

Supermarket worker Stacey wowed the judges and audience with her audition, singing‘ version ofRun.

She had only performed once before her BGT appearance and had toretrain her voice due to a speech impediment.

She said: “It is extremely hard, I have a video of me singing from four or five years ago and you couldn’t actually understand properly what I was singing due to the severity of speech impediments.

“So during lockdown I used to sit through like adult speech therapy sessions onand then I’d introduced it into my singing.

“If I don’t do certain exercises for say a couple of weeks at a time, I will start to revert back to how I was.”;

personalityKSI, 31, decided to send Stacey straight through to the semi-finals, while theaudience chanted ‘press the buzzer’.

Stacey previously revealed that she had been bullied in school and that people would mimic her because of her stutter.

“Children unfortunately sometimes can be a bit harsh and I wasn’t the popular girl at school”; she said.

It’s even more worrying for Stacey aswith the line up for Saturday’s semi final.

“Personally I think this semi-final will be a lot more competitive than the first, I can make a case for almost all the acts going through,”; complained one fan.

Another wrote: “Why are they putting so many Golden Buzzer acts together? That’s 6 of them already.”;

And a third added: “This is another extremely tough line up and I believe even more competitive than the first one.”;
