Sammy Harrison was 43 when she made a life changing recovery.

That in itself is an awesome achievement but her daughter, Honey, decided to take it a step further.

The 15-year-old signed them up for Britain’s Got Talent as a surprise.

Honey’s mommy was celebrating her birthday the day they auditioned.

They initially performed ‘She Used To Be Mine‘ by Sara Bareilles but they’ve barely sang the first part when

Simon raises his hand to stop them.

I just don’t like the song” says Simon.

Simon then asks them to come back a little later with a different song to which Sammy and Honey agreed to do.

He thinks their voices work well together and since it was a big moment, he asked them to return after awhile.

Sammy and Honey returned to the stage fifteen minutes later to perform ‘Lost Without You‘ by Freya Ridings. Sammy even wrote the lyrics on her hand.

She shares that as a mom, she identifies with the lyrics.

“She has really been my rock and got me through, sir.”

She adds in reference to her daughter.
