It's got better and better and better. Thoughts?" As Amanda started to reply 'You can't call it', Dec interrupted to inform everyone that Olly was now ready. Dec

said: "Hold those thoughts because we're ready on stage," before Ant quipped: "Thank goodness because they didn't have a thought between them." After

was 'unbelievable' and the judges totally forgot he was a kid. Simon said he was Olly's age when he picked up the guitar but he was 'absolutely useless'. Article
