A married couple faced a dilemma at the Britain's Got Talent auditions after the judges told them to ditch the singing element of their variety act.

Sam and Vicky Lane, who perform under the name of Vizage, attended the Blackpool auditions and explained how they hoped success in the competition could change their lives.

"Doing the variety circuit is very hard work, we have always wanted to start a family but we always seem to be putting it off because of work," Sam revealed. "If we were to win this we could at last think about starting a family of our own."

The pair faced judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden and explained the concept of their quick change act, which sees Vicky working her way through a variety of different outfits at lightning speed. After they were invited to start the act, everything appeared to be going well - until Vicky started singing Madonna's hit track 'Material Girl'.

"If you had come out here and just sang that song you would have lasted five seconds, you are not a very good singer," Cowell explained afterwards. "If you promise not to sing again we will put you through."

However, the pair were stunned by the criticism and reluctant to axe the singing element, explaining: "We have been doing our vocal illusion act for six years and your are the first people that have ever said that."

Tune in to Britain's Got Talent at 8.05pm on ITV1 tonight to see if Sam and Vicky decide to take the judges' advice.

Britain's Got Talent sparked marital strife after a 74-year-old auditionee blamed her husband for her failure to impress the judges.

Dinner lady Brenda Isaacs from Hulton attended auditions in Blackpool, hoping that her years of experience of singing in pubs and clubs would serve her well.

After telling Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden that she could be the next Britney Spears, Brenda announced that she was going to sing 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' with a little help from her husband Roy, who had provided a backing track on CD.

However, the audition got off to a bad start when the wrong track started to play, leaving show hosts Ant & Dec with the task of finding the right one and rescuing Brenda's chances.

Though Ant & Dec eventually fixed the CD problem, Simon, Piers and Amanda were horrified by Brenda's vocals and quickly used their buzzers to end her audition. Unfortunately for them, a member of the audience then shouted for the presenters to try another track, which gave Brenda a second chance to impress the trio with a rendition of 'Unchained Melody'.

Angered over the critical comments she then received, Brenda announced that the problem lay with her "supposed better half" rather than her own voice and left the theatre on the warpath.

An eight-year-old boy who auditioned for Britain's Got Talent as a singer was given a second chance to prove himself - as a comedian.

Alex Lees attended auditions for the ITV1 talent series in Blackpool and soon stood out for his chatty and confident nature.

"I'm going to knock Simon Cowell dead," Alex told show hosts Ant & Dec. "I'm going to strut my stuff and show them what I can do!"

However, after Alex had faced Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden and performed his own rendition of Robbie and Kylie's hit song 'Kids', he found that the trio were not so sure about his abilities.

"Let me give you the good news Alex - you are probably one of the most confident people I have ever met in my life," Cowell explained. "Now the not so good news - you can't sing very well."

Piers and Amanda agreed with his assessment, telling Alex that he would have a better chance of success in the competition if he returned with a stand-up routine.

Alex and his mother accepted the challenge and went away to come up with new material, eventually returning for a later audition in Manchester.

"I've been practising every day," Alex told the judges in his second audition. "It's good I've left the singing behind because comedy is much funnier. I really want to win and I think this comedy act will do it."

Woop! Just seen my friendlings!! The Arden Youth Choir ; ]

[Perdita]

They were very good, I liked them. Also the two supermarket managers, Alex, the 8 year old comic and the group Signature, those two were brilliant, as were a few others. Poor Brenda, her singing really was awful The quick-change act was good but I agree with the judges, she should stop singing.
All in all, I take my hat off to all those who have the guts to get up and perform in front of loads of strangers, whether they are good or not.

I am sure I have seen a similar act (the quick change one) on a previous BGT, if it was not even the same act Anybody else remember seeing this before?
