LITTLE Hollie Steel has captured the hearts of the world after her Britain’s Got Talent performance – and now she hopes to land a record deal as well as appear on the West End stage.

Speaking at her home in Huncoat the 10-year-old Britain’s Got Talent starlet told how she thought her singing and dancing were ‘rubbish’ despite the overwhelming praise by judges.

The youngster, who juggled speaking to the Lancashire Telegraph with performing for an American film crew for another TV show, has been left with a hectic schedule but manages to go to school, practise her singing for half an hour each night, and attend dance school three times a week.

Despite this the Oakhill pupil, who used to attend St Joseph Park School in Padiham, still doubts how good she actually is.

She said: “When I was on Britain’s Got Talent I thought the singing and dancing was a bit rubbish.

“I thought I could do better. I thought they would have stopped me before.

“But when they didn’t I was really, really excited. When I’m on stage it’s exciting and scary the best bit is when everybody is cheering.”

Hollie, who appeared in shows since the age of six where she shared the part of Joseph and sung Any Dream Will Do at Basics Theatre Junior School, looks up to her heroes Alexandra Burke, Katherine Jenkins and Kerry Ellis, who plays her character Elphaba in favourite musical Wicked.

She said: “Katherine has a beautiful voice, Alexandra is brilliant and Kerry is in my favourite musical. It has been amazing I would love to have a record deal and be Elphaba from Wicked. I would love to be a pop star and be on the stage.

“When I got through to Britain’s Got Talent, I don’t know how I kept it quiet but I’m really, really chuffed and I really, really want to win.

“I have wanted to do this since I was five. I watched my brother Josh do dancing and singing as I was growing up and I wanted too.”

Hollie, who lives with mum Nina, 37, dad Jason, 38, and brother Josh, 15, impressed the tough judging panel including Simon Cowell with her performance of I Could Have Danced All Night from My Fair Lady.
