Photo: Tom Dymond/Syco/Thames ITV/PA Wire He made Simon Cowell crack up at his first audition, but Ben Langley’s lyrical LOLs weren’t enough to earn him a place in the Britain’s Got Talent live shows. The 43-year-old from Shimpling near Diss appeared on tonight’s episode of the ITV talent competition (May 26) to find out whether Mr Cowell and his fellow judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams had picked him out of hundreds of other hopefuls to go through to the next stage.
