Lewis Capaldi had revealed that he auditioned for Britain's Got Talent before he became a number one recording artist.
The Scottish singer-songwriter, 23, dished on being told he was informed he had secured a place in the next round of the talent show – after winning over producers in the first round – but later never heard back.
Speaking to Heart Breakfast's Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden , on Tuesday, he confronted the BGT judge as he said: "Amanda, I went on Britain’s Got Talent and I went to the auditions.
"I went up and I sang White Blank Page by Mumford & Sons and I went on and they said to me Amanda, ‘Oh Lewis that was so great, that was lovely, we loved that'.

"And I said, ‘thank you so much for saying that’. And then I got a phone call saying, ‘Lewis that was great we’re going to put you through, and we’re going to try and hurry it through.’"
Sharing that he never progressed in the competition, he explained: "Then I never received another phone call again."
"Oh em gee, we turned down Lewis Capaldi," a shocked Amanda responded.
