Britain's Got Talent: Faryl 'inundated with lucrative offers'
Northamptonshire schoolgirl Faryl Smith has been "inundated" with offers of lucrative recording contracts since her stunning performance on Britain's Got Talent.
The 12-year-old is set for stardom after appearing on the ITV talent show, even though she did not make the final three of the competition.
Dad Tony Smith, who works in the building trade, was brought to tears by his daughter's performances.

Faryl will now join Milton Keynes street dance group Nemesis and all the other finalists from Saturday's TV show to perform around the country as part of the Britain's Got Talent live tour.
Mr Smith said: "There has been a lot of interest in Faryl since Saturday, which is great.
"It is a case of back to normality and work now, which is a bit of a shock, but we are going on tour for two-and-a-half weeks so we'll take it from there."
The Kettering schoolgirl is expected to meet representatives from Simon Cowell's Syco Music company before the tour to negotiate a recording contract.
Mr Cowell, who has described Faryl as 'world class', said: "Our priority is, of course, the winner (George Sampson]. We put all we have behind him.

"But we will be talking to Faryl at some point this week."
A possible five-album deal is rumoured to be worth up to 10m, a long way from her debut performance at the 25th anniversary celebrations of the Northampton Ex-Boxer's Association at Sixfields back in 2006.
Family friend Sid Green, 87, who was in the audience that night, said: "They couldn't connect up the backing track, but after she finished singing everyone was on their feet clapping and saying what a wonderful voice she had. I have been a fan ever since.
"When I listen to her there is no question she has a similar ability to Charlotte Church and Katherine Jenkins."
Due to huge public demand, three extra dates have been added to the live tour at Bournemouth, Manchester Apollo and Edinburgh Playhouse.
They will each perform their acts live on stage when the tour starts on Friday at London's Hammersmith Apollo.
Stephen Mulhern, presenter of ITV2's behind-the-scenes show Britain's Got More Talent, will host the live show.
