The popular talent show, Britain's Got Talent, is making a comeback with Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli, and Alesha Dixon as judges. The show has been a platform for many aspiring talents and has given us household names like Susan Boyle and Diversity. However, one of the musicians who participated in the show has a connection to fame that not many know about - she is married to a British music icon.
Izzy Johnston, a talented violinist, was a member of the electronic string quartet group, Escala, who auditioned for Britain's Got Talent in 2008. Their performance was met with a standing ovation from all three judges - Simon, Amanda, and Piers Morgan. Simon even went as far as calling them "incredible" and Piers predicted that they had a good chance of winning the competition. Amanda was equally impressed, gushing that they were "phenomenal."
Escala went on to become finalists in the competition and even though they didn't win, their unique take on classical music caught the attention of Simon who praised them for turning the genre on its head. After the show, they signed a lucrative contract with Simon and released their album, Escala, the following year. However, Izzy left the group in 2011, and the remaining members held auditions for a replacement.
But Izzy's talents and achievements don't end there. In 2012, she married McFly's Harry Judd, whom she met while playing violin in the band's Wonderland Tour in 2005. The couple now share three children together and their love story is nothing short of a fairytale. In fact, during their wedding, they even had a Strictly Come Dancing-style first dance, which Harry later shared on YouTube. Speaking of Strictly, Harry won the show in 2011 with his partner, Aliona Vilani.
Aside from her successful music career and being a podcast host, Izzy is also a published author. Her book, Dare to Dream: My Struggle to Become a Mum, and her book on mindfulness, Mindfulness for Mums, highlight her journey towards motherhood. Izzy has been open about her struggles with fertility, including a miscarriage in 2014 and undergoing IVF treatments. However, their persistence paid off, and they now have three beautiful children - Lola, Kit, and Lockie.
Adjusting to motherhood was not an easy journey for Izzy, who admits that she felt guilty for not being in a "complete blissful bubble" after going through so much to have children. She shared that having a child changes your life completely, and it can be overwhelming to be responsible for a tiny human being. Nonetheless, Izzy and Harry are grateful for their family and continue to support each other in their respective careers.
As Britain's Got Talent continues to showcase amazing talents, we can't wait to see what the future holds for Izzy and her family.
