A hospital nurse has spoken of her experience on Britain's Got Talent claiming it was both "surreal" and a "privilege".

Emily Mann, a critical care nurse at Medway Maritime Hospital, was part of the act named 'The Frontline Singers', a choir that made it the semi-final shows.

The nurse from Gillingham sung a solo at the beginning of the group's performance during the show.

Speaking about her experience, Emily said: "It was truly an amazing experience, and I’m so proud to have represented Medway Maritime Hospital and the NHS.

"For us it was never about the final or winning, it was about representing everyone on the frontline and bringing a message of hope, unity and positivity.

"We really poured our hearts into every word that we sung at both the audition and semi-final shows.

She added: "To then get a standing ovation was totally overwhelming, I don't think any of us expected to get the response that we did, so to be received that well just brought such a mixture of emotions.

"I would say the words to summarise the experience would be ‘surreal’ and a ‘privilege’."

The group was made up of pandemic frontline workers such as nurses, police and teachers aged between 24 and 62.

They won the hearts of the judges in their audition, singing their own song 'Strange Old World', and sung another original song in the semi-final, titled 'One Step Behind'.
