The pint-sized star is through to the live shows on the US television talent show, where she will compete against 35 other acts, including magicians, dance troupes and even a Donald Trump impersonator.

But there are other young competitors in the mix, including at least five who are also under 12.

The youngest to get through to the final 36 were tiny dance duo Artyon Celestine, 9, and Paige Glenn, 8, who were sent through to the next round on Tuesday night’s episode after doing a routine inspired by the 1987 film Dirty Dancing.
