This isn't the first time we've seem young contestants break down on BGT. Natalie broke down in tears when she didn't make it though to the final, and Andrew last year crying when he didn't win.

I think it's a good idea - but in reality I'm not so sure. I felt really uncomfortable last night when I saw Hollie get upset and the idea that it may just happen again tonight is worrying. It is a lot of pressure to put young children under - although, some of them are fantastic. Look at Aidin this year, or George last year. And of course Connie Talbot from series 1.

I think it may be just as much pressure for them as it for some of the older contestants - it's just the younger ones are more likely to let their emotions get to them on stage. But I do think some sort of age-limit should be brought in. Perhaps 10-upwards. I really dont like the idea of having a 3-year-old going through what Hollie went through last night.
