At the young age of 10 years old, Chloe Hickinbottom from Wolverhampton may be eight decades younger than Dame Vera Lynn. But Britain's Got Talent producers believe that the youngster has the voice to become a modern-day version of the Forces' Sweetheart.

Britain's Got Talent is back on our screens and in the first episode of Simon Cowell's runaway success, Chloe Hickinbottom sings a rendition of one of Dame Vera's most famous songs, (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover, a song recorded 60 years before Chloe was born.

Boasting an incredibly mature voice for one so young the comparisons to the success Susan Boyle has achieved have already started to do the rounds with Chloe tipped to be well in with a chance of winning the show in 2010.

Asked what she would do with the money, Chloe, who says that her dream is to become a singer, tells the show's hosts, Ant and Dec: "I'd spend it on tights and leggings on a shopping spree in Primark."

After her note-perfect performance, Amanda Holden, one of the three judges, says: “I definitely wasn't expecting that. I can't believe that a little ten-year-old girl has such a beautiful voice.” Piers Morgan added: “I closed my eyes at one stage. You could have been 40 to 50 years old.”

Louis Walsh, who stood in for a Cowell because of illness at the Birmingham auditions, adds: “I don't know where the big voice came from. You were perfectly in tune. I think you were fantastic. You could sell records.”
