Coronation Street’s Dark Secret: Cait Fitton’s Britain’s Got Talent Journey Revealed!

Coronation Street fans have been left stunned after rediscovering actress Cait Fitton’s hidden talent from her past. While Cait has made a huge impact on the cobbles as Lauren Bolton since her 2022 debut, many were shocked to learn she once competed on Britain’s Got Talent.

Lauren’s journey on Coronation Street has been filled with drama. She was presumed murdered last year before making a shocking return—only to later kill her abuser, Joel Dearing. Ultimately, she was found not guilty, with the jury ruling it was self-defense. More recently, she faced heartbreak when her boyfriend, Max Turner, fled after committing arson. However, Max later had a change of heart and turned himself in.

Though Cait is now a household name in the soap world, many fans didn’t realize she first graced ITV screens in 2020 as part of the sign language choir Sign Along With Us on Britain’s Got Talent. The group’s powerful performance of This Is Me from The Greatest Showman captivated the judges and earned them David Walliams’ Golden Buzzer, sending them straight to the semifinals. They ultimately finished in second place, just behind comedian Jon Courtenay.

Recently, their audition resurfaced on TikTok, and Coronation Street fans were stunned to spot Cait in the choir. “I’ve watched this audition a hundred times and never realized that was her!” one fan wrote. Another added, “OMG, she’s so talented!”

Cait’s journey to Coronation Street was years in the making. She had minor background roles on the show as a child, but in 2021, she finally landed her dream role as Lauren. Reflecting on her success, she once shared how she always dreamed of joining the cast, proving that hard work and determination can make anything possible.
