Dec: Get going shall we and we start tonight with a question
Dec: What have Liza Minnelli, Julie Andrews and Shirley Bassey all have in common?
Ant: They're all our David Walliams desert Island discs. Dec: Yes
Dec:But no, that's not what I was looking for. They were all part of this lady's first audition. It's musical impressionist Jess Robinson.
(audience clapping)
I'm Jess. I'm 33 and I do impressions.
What I love about performing is making people laugh.
We've gotta fight,fight,fight for this love
we've gotta fight, well, youse wouldn't recognise me voice if I sang
I didn't expect that reaction from the audience
Ant: Wow! Like that!
I've never known anything like that. That was incredible
I've been trying to make it as a full time
Performer for the last 12 years and tonight is the big break that I've been waiting for
on the side
I've worked as a waitress. I've worked in a call center, and I've taught singing and that's the one that I've stuck at
Sitting up straight.
It's just one of my favourite things. *sings* Ravioli

I've got a really musical family
my grandma was a musician my grandpa was a performer and he used to perform on the variety
circuit with Morcombe and Wise and Bruce Forsyth
he even performed for the Queen once . That's him meeting the Queen. Yes, that's the Queen
I think it's something my grandpa always wanted to do so I'm doing this for me and for him
(crowd clapping) *sings a long note* *Tina Turner impression* Do I love you

(fireworks exploding, crowd cheering)
Dec: well done. Jess: Thank you.
Ant: well done.
Okay David
David: Oh I loved that I was laughing throughout, and you've obviously got incredible talent for mimicry
but the material was really strong too the Adele stuff was absolutely hilarious and
I loved to having a little go at our very own alicia. That was fantastic too (crowd cheers)
You started this show on a really really high level well done.
Jess: Thank you so much
you know from the
auditions you were one of the people that stood out the most to me that I went home and spoke to my family about
cos I just think that you are fantastic. Is there anyone that you can't do?
Jess: Simon!
Simon, I mean honestly I think you are so talented that I think you could put your hand to anything your voice is amazing like
David said it was funny brilliant way to start the show ladies and gentlemen pick up the phone for this woman
(crowd cheering)
I absolutely couldn't agree more you are the whole package
I mean, you look fantastic as David said
it was brilliantly put together and you actually have an amazing singing voice
I mean if you didn't do any of that you could probably have a career as a singer so congratulations.
Jess: Thank you so much.
Amanda: well done. Phenomenal. (crowd clapping)
Simon: Jess, I wasn't quite as enthusiastic as the other [three] I'm going to be honest with you. (crowd boos)
I will tell you why, because I much prefer the first audition. I thought the way this was presented. It was very kind of cabaret
um and a bit old-fashioned I do
I also am going to be honest with you. I thought the singing Adele
Impersonation was one of the worst I've ever heard I mean the talking part works, but I didn't sound like Adele
David: yes, it did and It was very funny - so shut up
[I] think I think the adult thing is in defence dumpling is it's a heightened version of the caricature yeah, yeah
Yeah, just the prize of the period under our variety leaves a lot more - I think a lot of the other acts
We'd love to do that wouldn't you oh yeah, I've been trying to get on the royal variety show for years
But maybe this year will be d and you know
Lust lust is it have we been traveling a bit always - Gandhi [I]
Haven't I haven't I've been really inspired watching the other acts
But also the standard so high up just being wing my pants oh
As in Semjaza to come up who knows
Final that call all [Nr2] or football 24 for the landline followed by [or] one or from Ov are called
644 24 followed by [oh] [on]
