Pregnant Britain's Got Talent star Amy Lou Smith - who stunned the judges with her epic performance - gave birth just hours before her audition aired on TV.
The sunbed shop worker was 30 weeks pregnant when she auditioned back in January, where she absolutely smashed Beyoncé's 'Listen' out of the park.
Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell said he hadn't seen a connection with the audience like that in all of his years of judging. Watch her mega performance below:

The whole panel was astonished - Amanda was 'covered in goosebumps' and Alesha Dixon said it was her favourite audition so far in the competition.
Debut judge Bruno Toniloni also said Amy was a 'ray of sunshine'.
The mother obviously got four yeses and went straight through to the next round.
And now the 34-year-old, who is also mum to a four-year-old son, has welcomed her 'perfect' baby Aida - born at 3.59pm on Saturday weighing 5lb 14oz.
She told the Mirror: “She is absolutely perfect and healthy in every single form.
"I am so overwhelmed with all the love and support I’ve received from being on the show. I cannot put into words how in love we are with our perfect little girl. She’s made the family complete.
“I love being a mum and I’m beyond grateful and blessed that I’ve been able to welcome Aida into the world. It all feels like a dream right now and I keep having to pinch myself to make sure it’s not.
“We didn’t know my audition would be airing this weekend until the day before and I was already booked in to have Aida - so we were so shocked! I hadn’t told anybody on the show I was having her this weekend - so it’s crazy!
“As a family we are so in love and I’m so overwhelmed by all the kindness that has come our way. My own little BGT baby!”
Amy says Aida has already become a star like her mum: “She had people swarming our room.
“Nurses etc who had just watched the audition in the offices.
“What a day yesterday was for me.
“Life has gone crazy as you may imagine and the feedback and comments and positivity from the show is just insane - I’m so happy.”
The mum-of-two says she is 'going to concentrate on settling baby Aida into our new little life together'.
