A Fife barber is set to appear in the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent.
Cammy Barnes, from Methil, will appear in the last live show before Sunday’s final.
The 32-year-old made it to the penultimate round after wowing the judges with his rendition of Olivia Rodrigo’s song Drivers License.
Hosts Ant and Dec enjoyed the fact he sang with a Scottish accent, while judge Bruno Tonioli felt Cammy sang “from the heart”.
Now he is one step away from the chance of winning £250,000 and a spot on this year’s Royal Variety Performance.
He is the only Scottish contestant left in the show and says he hopes to “bring the win home”.
In a post on Twitter, he added: “Tell yer pals, maws and grans to vote.”

It’s finally official! I’m super proud to be the only Scottish person in the semi final! It would be unreal and potentially life changing if you can get in my corner and help me bring the win home.

Following his last round success, Cammy – who runs Barney’s Barbershops in Methil and Anstruther – told The Courier how he had been inspired by the birth of his daughter to take part in the show.
It has been a big year for Cammy, after he performed at Murrayfield before Scotland’s Six Nations clash with Italy.
He also cut the team’s hair before their 26-14 win.
