Let It Shine: Graham Norton calls for help as hopeful falls ill ‘MEDIC! MEDIC!’

This evening’s show saw a few of the hopefuls sing and dance with pop star Olly Murs.

After the performance, host Graham told the audience that 19-year-old Sario Solomon had been unwell during the week.

“I couldn’t tell from the performance but apparently you had some throat problems today?” the Irish presenter asked.

Sounding very ill, Sario replied “yeah” with a heavy growl.
