'Britain's Got Talent' pop-classical act 'The Arrangement' have been backed by Beyonce Knowles.

The singers - who will be competing in tonight (02.06.10)'s semi-final on the ITV1 show - impressed the judges with their rendition of the pop star's single 'If I Were A Boy' in their first audition, and have since been backed by Beyonce herself.

The former Destiny's Child star said: "I just saw the YouTube video of 'The Arrangement' at the weekend, and I have to say I absolutely loved it!

"I thought they were hilarious, at the same time as being very talented. They have my backing.

I loved the lead singer. He was adorable. He had so much charisma. He handled himself like a star.

Lead singer Jono Miles, 18, was thrilled with the compliment.

He told The Sun newspaper: "It's great that Beyonce herself has endorsed it. I feel a lot more confident now."

Another of tonight's competitors to have gained a celebrity fanbase is ten-year-old singer Chloe Hickinbottom - who has been praised by Peter Andre.

She said: "I heard Peter Andre said I was one of his favourite acts. Maybe we could do a duet."
