Stacey leadbeatter releases 175-word statement after trolls take aim

Britain's Got Talent star Stacey Leadbeatter has hit out at "miserable" trolls after receiving insulting messages following her appearance in the final. Stacey Leadbeatter,

from Batley, took to the stage as part of the Britain's Got Talent final, in which Harry Moulding was named the overall winner. Singing a rendition of Robbie Williams' Angels, she

received a great deal of praise from the judges, with Simon Cowell telling here she should be "unbelievably proud". Since then, Stacey said she had been receiving

'hilarious' comments about how she 'came last'. Stacey said she did not come last, but came 11th out of thousands of contestants overall, and that she was

"incredibly proud" of that. Others had accused her of trying to rig the votes by being on TikTok Live, which Stacey said was not true. Her full statement said: "Some of the

comments I am getting are hilarious. "You came last hahaha" nope. I didn't come last I came 11th out of THOUSANDS and I am incredible proud of that "You tried rigging the

votes by coming on tiktok live" Nope, I have been on tiktok for 5 years now and I have been luck yo have a large platform throughout this time. "'You looked like a drag

queen' Thank you, Drag queens are stunning. 'You Sounded horrible you can't sing' that's your personal opinion plus you try and sing live on tv infront of millions

with personal stuff going on. 'You can't sing' The Simon Cowell gave me two standing ovations. And has told me he thinks I can sing. Who am I going to listen to? "There

is so much more I could say but I'm not going to. It's sad that people are so miserable that they have to try and bully someone they don't know on the internet for chasing

their dreams and doing something they love. Shame on you." _GET ALL THE LATEST AND BREAKING NEWS IN YORKSHIRE BY __SIGNING UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER HERE._
