I told Simon he'd give me a record deal when I was 15

THE teacher given the Golden Buzzer on last night's Britain's Got Talent says she told Simon Cowell that he would give her a record deal when she was just 15.

Taryn Charles, who will now automatically go through to the show's semi-final, grew up near the London office of Cowell's record label, then called S Records.

She says she met him once before and told him of her dream but Simon could not remember the moment.

Taryn, 39, says: "From a young age, I looked up to Simon.

"When I was growing up, he worked at a record label near our house. I met him when I was 15 and said to him, 'You're gonna give me a record deal one day"."

But Taryn's precocious courage was all but forgotten as she performed Aretha Franklin's (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman last night.
