After getting four yeses, Father Ray, 64, said: “I just had the most amazing experience… the four judges gave me a standing ovation.
“I mean, come on! It doesn’t get better than that! I’m shaking still, I’m absolutely shaking!
“Cos I genuinely, genuinely was not expecting that at all. And I’m just floored by it”
Amanda gave him a hug and lots of BGT fans were also wowed by his performance. "He deserved a gold buzzer. He was absolutely amazing." Another wrote: "'I've heard him sing at a wedding, incorporating the name of bride & groom. It was hallelujah. Makes me cry as did this."
Another tearful viewer commented: "How amazing was in tears. Bless you xxx." While one viewer said: "Absolutely beautiful sang straight to my heart."
