Amanda Holden was left in tears during tonight's episode of Britain's Got Talent. The outgoing TV babe fought to control her emotions after one hopeful used her audition to highlight the dog meat trade.
Around the globe thousands of dogs are slaughtered and kept in inhuman conditions to provide meat in countries where pooches are eaten.
Auditionee Amanda Leask appeared with her adorable rescue dog Miracle before playing a clip about how the pet pooch was found on the brink of death crammed in a cage.
As host Ant McPartlin sat on the floor with Miracle he was seen looking emotional before the camera cut to judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon, who were both in floods of tears.
