A TROUBLED teenage musician who auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent allegedly killed herself after suffering online bullying.

The family of tragic singer and pianist Beatrix Hart claim that she was targeted because of her “alternativ­e” look and jealousy over her talent.

The 16-year-old, who had a history of selfharmin­g and overdosing, tried out for the ITV show in 2013 and 2014.

She was found dead at home in Gunnislake, Cornwall, in September.

Gran April Gunn, 66, said: “People fell out with her and called her a slag and told her she was ugly.

“She had an amazing voice and I think there was jealousy. It contribute­d to an already anxious girl.” An inquest into Beatrix’s death will be scheduled. TARGETED Beatrix
