Olivia Binfield Brought Pet Snake To Her ‘BGT’ Audition
Olivia mentioned how she is able to memorize all of her poems in her head and does not even need a piece of paper to read off of. Hosts Ant & Dec noticed that Olivia had a wooden box with her backstage but she refused to show them what was inside of it. She made her way onto the stage with excitement. When judge Amanda Holden asked Olivia what she wants to be when she grows up, she confidently said “a zoologist.”
When it came time for Olivia to perform her act, she ran off backstage leaving the judges confused. She reached into the wooden box and pulled out a huge snake which had Ant & Dec shook. Olivia returned to the stage with the snake around her neck. She announced that the snake is named Lucy and it lives in her house.
With Lucy slivering around her neck, Olivia delivered a poem about wanting to preserve endangered species and their ecosystems. It made the audience laugh at times but also say “aw.”
“Olivia it was absolutely brilliant,” Amanda said after the audition. “You did so well to remember all of it, especially with a snake on your shoulders.” Judge Michael McIntyre was concerned that Olivia could not breathe with Lucy around her neck. But Olivia is such a pro that she quickly put everyone at ease and told them she could breathe.
