Alexandra Parker is a singer and burlesque performer who auditioned for Series 5 of Britain's Got Talent. She worked as a professional violinist and was aged 22 at the time of her audition.
In her audition, Parker performed to 'Gypsy Rhapsody' by female string quartet Bond, accompanying her music with a subtle dance routine. David commented that Parker possessed a 'Lovely strange texture', with Amanda describing her as a 'Very good violinist'. She advanced onto the following round, however she failed to reach the Semi-Finals.
Controversy[]
After her audition, Eos Chater, a member of Bond, accused Parker of cheating after remarking that Parker was simply 'playing quietly' over a backing track of the song.[1] Parker later apologised, stating that she was assured by the production team that there was no issue with performing over the track.[2]
