The minister revealed he "came to it late" and professed to not be "very good at it", causing the judging panel and audience to giggle.

His funny set covered a range of topics - including his day job, marriage and the area where he lives.

Alesha called him a "breath of fresh air", Amanda admitted he made her "want to go to church."

And Simon said: "The audience love you, you've got four yeses."
