However, it was his cheekiness before the music even started that stole Simon Cowell’s heart. When David Walliams asked the young Scot what he would buy if he won the £250,000 grand prize, Oscar didn’t hesitate for a second—without missing a beat, he declared he would buy a Bugatti!

By the time he finished his high-energy routine with a dramatic finale pose, the entire auditorium erupted into wild applause.
