Captain Tom Moore is being lined up to perform in the Britain’s Got Talent live final alongside his duet partner Michael Ball.
The 99-year-old World War II veteran reached a new level of national hero during the coronavirus pandemic after raising more than £27 million to benefit the NHS with his 100th birthday Walk for the NHS appeal.
He is tipped to top the official UK music chart this week after featuring alongside West End legend Michael Ball, 57, and the NHS Voices of Care Choir on a recording of You'll Never Walk Alone.
Now Simon Cowell hopes to entice the former army officer to join the line-up of the 2020 live final of Britain’s Got Talent, which hopes to film once coronavirus social distancing measures end.
