An incredibly talented young schoolboy left the Britain's Got Talent panel in floods of tears after his emotional audition.

The talented young hopeful shared his journey to confidence after he was diagnosed with autism.
In his VT, Cillain explained: "Before I found magic my social skills were very bad. I would just be in the corner and not want to be within 50 feet of anyone."
While performing his magic trick, Cillian further shared some insight into his life with autism which ultimately left judges Simon Cowell, Bruno Tonioli, Amanda Holden, and Alesha Dixon emotional and in tears.
