“The fact that she was already on stage before Simon and the other judges is crazy.
“She’ll be able to tell her friends later that she met Simon Cowell while she was in my womb!”
“I can’t believe that all the stars have aligned and that I get to share this moment with my little girl and family.”
Amy, who is already a mother to four-year-old Hudson, gave birth to Aida at 3.59pm on Saturday. Her audition, the first of this year’s series, was televised just after 8pm on the same day.
She said she had no idea her audition was appearing in the first episode, describing it as “perfect timing.”
Amy received a standing ovation from judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli on last night’s show.
Simon told her: “It just doesn’t happen. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone so connected to an audience in all the years I’ve been doing this. Whatever happens next, it’s going to be great. Really, you deserve it.”
While Amanda added, “The minute you started singing I had goosebumps. I thought your baby must be sleeping in there and she said, ‘Oh, let’s go!’. You’re a star.”
