Such a beautiful voice! I played the crazy American lady in the queue and her reactions were priceless! Many people would not have been so gracious. Well done on all fronts, Ciara!

Dian Perry you were very good 😂😂😂😂

Simon Black Thank you!

[@charliebowyer7885]

You were great! did you audition for the part? x

Hi Charlie - Thank you! It was a lot of fun. Yes, I had to audition.

I love how Simon looks in adoration while she is singing, right in the feels.

he also knows a camera is in his face lol

Sameeee

[@relativetruth8889]

He doesn't know anything about any camera...

[@anthonytaylor8457]

@@relativetruth8889 of course he does. There is always a camera in the families face. He would be able to see it for one but im sure he watched plenty of these. I think it was genuine but no way he doesnt know a camera is on him.

"Can he just wiggle his bottom?" Omg i lost it. 😂

[@lafayette1964]

I love that she pulled the hotel "key card" out of her pocket -- just to check. So funny, so sweet.

[@peacefulways8082]

She's so classy and humble, without arrogance or attitude. Truly classy and talented. Just beautiful.

[@Fankiveli]

Actually it was the hotels business card which she picked up when they were leaving the check in

[@Gibla2077]

lafayette1964 she waved back atall the actors, as well, when they were waving at the camera. Very sweet.

[@justcallmejessz3712]

When?

I noticed that too. I would have no trouble with her being my doctor, if she's a medical doctor.

yvonneost12 she’s my favourite overall. She comes across so lovely and she really sing and she even does the facial expressions while singing. She’s really sweet when she does that ‘you’re Michael McIntyre’. And her reaction to the audience was lovely.

[@juanpineda2968]

You forgot that she is taller than him and that means a lot nowadays

[@JayJay-fl5iy]

She gives me Disney Princess vibes

[@lambertbrother1628]

In Les Mis, Cosette is basically a Disney Princess: 1: Parents die (Fantine and later Valjean) 2: Love at first sight (Marius) 3: Abused by surrogate parents (the Thernardiers) 4: A wish to rebel against a parent (Valjean) 5: Lives Happily Ever After (evidence not necessarily in order)

[@___LC___]

Lambert Brother That song isn't Cosette's, but Eponine's. Eponine doesn't get the man and dies serving his failed cause, with very little recognition of her service to it. She is a tragic figure in the novel and the musical.

[@alamdaali8776]

right? haha

Simon is the luckiest man alive.

[@liptonbites]

I love how Ciara just looked at her boyfriend when Michael told her she's been nominated to be the unexpected star. It's like she's saying 'just you wait' 🤣

[@RobinMackUK]

Obviously, being an A&E doctor in Belfast is both a worthy profession and a calling but... WHAT a loss to the stage and musical theatre. I have watched your performance over and over and it was [IMHO] as sensational as it was beautiful. The vocal and physical emotion you conveyed when singing was tangible, sincere and real. You connected with the theatre audience and, if my experience watching you at home is anything to go by, you connected with the television audience as well. You brought a tear or two to this old man's eyes. Give Simon a hug... he's EARNED it!!! *{:-) R*

[@chrisgolfer7528]

First time I have come across the video. Priceless reaction to the setup and Ciara has such a great personality and voice. Considering she was unaware of the whole setup her personality and manners were great and she is the sort of person that you would treasure as a friend.

[@AnushHydros]

Dear Ciara .. we not only loved your beautiful voice and wonderful rendition of that cute song.. but also your lovely expression when the curtains were drawn😂! Hope you have recovered well 😛!

[@KeepAnEyeOnDan]

Oh wow! This is the first one of these that's made me cry. Of course she has an amazing job saving lives but oh my god her voice, her stage presence she's everything. And absolutely beautiful too x

[@richardcurrie4038]

Everything about this was perfect. We have a history of TV pranks in the UK, but this was done so nicely and without being overly contrived. It feels natural and funny and my gosh she was perfectly surprised. Her reaction was everything. On my own is a tough song to sing, but she was perfect and I’m guessing she had theatre training prior to being a doctor as she had a really good stage presence as well. She was so gracious and lovely. Her boyfriend is one lucky lad!!

[@TaragoPreviaEstima]

I never get sick of watching this one. She has an amazing voice.

[@oldrrocr]

Fabulous! That was the best prank I've ever seen! but being somewhat cynical, I can't help but wonder if WE were the ones being pranked. She was just too good to be true. Hope to see her in a musical or movie... What a talent!

[@Dogbreath1139]

Simply amazing. Brought a tear to my eye, and I am a cynical old git who doesn't easily impress. Well done that lady!!! :)

[@andreamoscoso4065]

What a great show my new favorite!! So well thought out!! Love her voice and the whole show the actors were hilarious and it was so kind of her boyfriend to nominate her. Hearts of gold.

[@walterskinner527]

This young lady was exceptional fantastically talented.

[@Steve-fe4lq]

I absolutely LOVE this segment! Such a wonderful way to showcase undiscovered talent!

[@tvweekhighlights]

Michael McIntyre obviously takes a risk when giving top billing to an unknown performer, but he's got away with it again. This girl could probably carry her own show and have MacIntyre appear as a supporting act.

[@NathanWubs]

No risk at all, the pre-screen several hundreds of entries. It is easy to see if someone has a modicum of talent.

[@tvweekhighlights]

So do all the TV talent shows, and just look at the endless wannabe rubbish that gets through that process.... without having to deal with the shock of the unexpected revelation.

[@MatthaisUK]

​@@tvweekhighlights You realise that they deliberately select some of the most exceptional rubbish because it also makes for "good" television, right?

Brilliant set up in this one! The comedy in the lobby was brilliant. When this poor woman saw the stage and audience she really freaked out. But it worked out so well in the end. Her makeup and hair looked incredible and the dress... absolutely stunning. She also nails that song. Absolutely gorgeous voice.
