Young musicians Isaac Waddington proved particularly popular through this year’s Britain’s Got Talent.

Therefore it’s no surprise that the 15 year-old, who sang and played piano in the competition, has been signed to Simon Cowell’s Syco label.

Waddington made it through to the Britain’s Got Talent final this year, after delivering mature renditions of Billy Joel’s She’s Always A Woman and Bonnie Raitt’s I Can’t Make You Love Me. He was the highest-voted solo singer in the final, coming ahead of opera singer Emma Jones and Calum Scott.

Speaking to The Sun, a source said: "[Cowell is] not going to rush anything out. Simon's keen to take his time with Isaac and work out which direction to go, musically."

The young singer recently revealed on Twitter that he has signed a management deal:

It remains to be seen whether Simon Cowell’s ‘golden buzzer’ act from the show, Calum Scott, will land himself a record deal. One of the favourites to win the show, Scott suffered a blip in the live final when he briefly forgot the lyrics to Rihanna’s Diamonds.
