Colin From It's A Sin Singing On BBC Talent Show, Let It Shine, Will Melt Your Heart

Prepare to fall in love with Colin all over again, because a fan has unearthed a video of It's a Sin star Callum Scott Howells singing - and it's amazing.

Appearing on BBC talent show, Let It Shine back in 2017, Callum can be heard singing 'You'll Be Back' from the musical Hamilton - and it is breathtaking.

You can watch the clip below:

The audition got off to a pretty hilarious start, after Callum - aged 17 at the time - told the panel he was from Wales, and that he was head boy at his school.

Being from America, Judge Amber Riley explained she didn't know what that meant, hoping Callum would explain the term 'head boy'. But totally misunderstanding, Callum described Wales instead, explaining: "The country next to England, that's where I'm from" before the panel - and the audience - burst into hysterics.

Once everyone had calmed down, Callum got straight into his performance - and it was amazing. Callum made it through to the next stage but ended up withdrawing from the competition.

Instead, he went on to study at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and of course, starred in the hit series It's a Sin.

And fans of the show are loving the throwback clip, with one person commenting: "Wow he can sing as well. He was so good in It's a Sin."

While another said: "Such a sweetie... grown into such a lovely, handsome man."

"This guy has come so far, he's played Colin in 'It's a sin' great actor and can sing too!" Added another.

"It's a sin!!!!! He's amazing, he's going to go so far," said one.

Channel 4)

In case you're yet to watch, the gripping Channel 4 series follows five 18-year-olds who move to London in 1981.

It focuses on Ritchie Tozer - played by Years and Years singer Olly Alexander - as he moves to the city to pursue his dream of becoming an actor.

Ritchie moves into a house dubbed the 'Pink Palace' along with a group of mates, but their lives are soon turned upside down by the AIDS crisis in Britain, which is just beginning. The heartbreaking series explores the impact the virus had on the LGBTQ+ community at that time, and viewers have praised it as "phenomenal".

You can watch It's a Sin over on All 4 now.
