The second 12-year-old Ellis Chick walked onto the stage of Britain’s Got Talent, everyone could tell he was different.
Most kids his age would be terrified standing in front of thousands of people and a panel of celebrity judges. But not Ellis.
With a huge smile and endless confidence, the young performer introduced himself like he owned the stage. When asked if he was nervous, Ellis casually shrugged it off and explained that he sings and dances “all the time.” His personal motto? “#YOLO” — You Only Live Once.
The audience instantly loved him.
But within moments, something even funnier completely stole the spotlight.
The judges couldn’t stop staring at Ellis because of his unbelievable resemblance to David Walliams. The similarity was so shocking that the entire panel burst into laughter, joking that the young singer looked exactly like a mini version of David himself.
Even David couldn’t believe it.
But then… Ellis started singing.
And suddenly, the jokes stopped.
Choosing the classic hit “You Make Me Feel So Young,” famously performed by Michael Bublé, Ellis delivered a performance nobody expected from a 12-year-old boy.
From the very first note, his voice was smooth, confident, and incredibly polished. But it wasn’t just his singing that impressed everyone — it was the way he completely controlled the stage like a professional entertainer.
He swung across the stage with swagger, charm, and confidence far beyond his years. Every movement looked natural. Every note landed perfectly. Instead of looking nervous, Ellis looked like someone born to perform.
The judges sat back in complete shock.
Alesha Dixon called him a “complete showman,” while Amanda Holden praised his genius song choice and admitted she had never felt so relaxed watching someone so young perform.
But the funniest moment came from David Walliams himself.
Completely embracing the resemblance, David joked that Ellis was his “mini-me” and hilariously added that he looked like “a little version of me if I had any talent.”
The audience erupted with laughter.
Even Simon Cowell — known for being hard to impress — couldn’t deny Ellis’ incredible talent. Although Simon jokingly warned him not to pick up “corny habits” from old pub singers, he still praised the young performer’s confidence and stage presence.
Then came the moment everyone was waiting for.
One by one, all four judges delivered huge “Yes” votes, officially sending Ellis through to the next round and turning him into one of the most unforgettable young performers of the season.
What started as a funny comparison to David Walliams quickly became a genuinely jaw-dropping audition that proved Ellis Chick was far more than just a lookalike.
He was a born entertainer.
