A woman who became an internet sensation when she was filmed ranting at rioters in London last summer has successfully auditioned for Britain's Got Talent.
Pauline Pearce was a hit with judges Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and special guest Carmen Electra when she tried out at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo in the capital.
The 46-year-old bantered with Cowell about her cane before kicking off her performance.
He asked: "You're not going to hit me with that are you?"
She responded: "I only threaten people with my stick. I don't actually hit them. I wont hit you unless you're a rioter."
MailOnline reports that she sang Ralph McTell's 'The Streets Of London' and dedicated it to the riot victims, but was told by 52-year-old Simon to change song.
She then tried her hand at Louis Armstrong's 'What A Wonderful World', to the approval of the crowd and the judging panel.
Britain's Got Talent returns to screens this Spring.
Yesterday Alesha Dixon hit back at a rejected hopeful after the aspiring singer lashed out at her on Twitter.
