When was Julia Carlile on BGT and for which operation did Simon Cowell pay?

Simon Cowell had an emotional reunion with former British finalist Got Talent, Julia Carlile, two years after paying for a life-altering surgery.

Julia, a member of the MerseyGirls dance troupe (originally known as Just Us), left the crying nipple as she returned to the stage for British director Got Talent The Champions, returning from before at the Wembley Arena, London.

"All I want to talk about is the strength of a person and, beyond that, the friendship and support that you all have and that we saw the first time we met you," he said. he started before being overwhelmed by emotions.

"See you able to come back tonight … that means everything."

When was Julia Carlile at the origin of Got Talent in Britain?

Julia appeared in the series in 2017 with her dance troupe MerseyGirls, who auditioned under the name Just Us.

The troupe won Alesha Dixon's Golden Buzzer in the series after playing their program in front of Rachel Platten's Fight Song – and reached the final by finishing ninth.

For which transaction did Simon Cowell pay?

Julia explained at the time that she was suffering from scoliosis, which would end her dancing career – and that Britain's Got Talent would mark the last time she could get herself produce, because she had to undergo a surgical operation that would prevent her from dancing. .

However, it appeared that another type of operation allowing her to dance again was available in the United States and that Julia hoped to win the £ 250,000 series prize in order to travel to the United States to become operate instead.

When MerseyGirls lost in the final, Cowell asked Julia to go for treatment in the United States. This operation took place in July 2017, just weeks after the BGT final.

The procedure, called attachment to the vertebral body, involves attaching the screws along a cord to the back – with a recovery time of only six weeks.

If Julia had undergone surgery in the United States, she would have had an operation that would involve repairing the spine with metal rods – which would have prevented her from dancing.

She made her first public appearance after the operation just two months later at the National Reality TV Awards that year. She also participated in the show This Morning after the operation stating: "It was really difficult, probably one of the most difficult things over."

Julia told Simon at the British Got Talent The Champions party: "Simon, thank you very much. I do not think I've been as happy as I am right now.

"I thought that now I would be home without dancing for the rest of my life, but here I am back with my best friends."

When is the British Got Talent: The Champions launched?

The series will be broadcast on ITV later this year.
