Redditch grab-a-gran’s grope on Britain's Got Talent

COULD this be the sauciest pensioner in the Midlands?

For most people an appearance on Britain’s Got Talent is as embarrassing as it gets.

But one cheeky Midland granny got more than she bargained for when she auditioned on the hit TV show.

Retired chemistry teacher Brenda Morris, from Redditch, turned up at the auditions in Birmingham to croon some old classics.

But although judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan let her down gently, Stephen Mulhern, presenter of sister show Britain’s Got More Talent sang with the 66-year-old backstage and could not resist a quick snog – and a grope.

Last night Brenda, who Mulhern described as a “man-magnet”, said: “I could have killed him. The whole thing left me cringing and it was all a set-up. I only found out it was on the telly when I got back from holiday.”

Brenda discovered she had been groped on television when a neighbour’s son showed her a clip on YouTube. In the video, which has received thousands of hits on the web, flirty Brenda sings with Mulhern who cradles the pensioner from behind before touching her breast and shouting “Ooh Brenda”.
