For his semi-final performance, Sonny read a poem to his sons.<\/p>\n \u201cIt doesn’t matter how old you get, you\u2019re never too old for a cuddle from your dad. I will embarrass you along the way, but it\u2019s okay that\u2019s what dads tend to do. Right now you\u2019re probably thinking you know it all.<\/p>\n \u201cThe quicker you realise you don\u2019t, the easier life gets. You\u2019ve got two eyes, two ears and one mouth because you should probably listen as much as you speak. Never miss a moment to say what needs to be said, like telling your family you love them before you walk out the door because not everyone comes back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n (Image: ITV)<\/p>\n Sonny went on to encourage his sons to be \u2018friendly, show manners and have respect\u2019, before emphasising that they’ll \u2018never be too old to get a cuddle from your dad.<\/p>\n Towards the end of his poem, Sonny said he hopes his sons get \u2018pearls of wisdom and makes memories no one can ever take away\u2019. Beginning to get emotional, Sonny\u2019s children ran up to the stage to give him a big hug, with him telling them \u2018they did it\u2019 and the judges standing on their feet as the act came to an end.<\/p>\n Praising Sonny, Amanda <\/a>said: \u201cOh my god\u2026 you are \u2018meant\u2019. Everything is meaningful, every moment, every breath, the delivery, the intention and it\u2019s all from your heart.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt just struck a chord with me. I have a teenage girl, all of that meant so much. I\u2019m going to watch it back, type it up, frame it and put it in her bedroom. Thanks so much.\u201d<\/p>\n Having already been shown with tears rolling down his face during Sonny\u2019s poem, KSI <\/a>said he was \u2018sorry\u2019 when it was time for him to give his feedback. The boxer and musician then began to sob with his hand over his face.<\/p>\n \u201cIt just really hit me, it just really hit me. I know my relationship with my dad isn\u2019t always the best. Hearing those words just makes me really think about what I need to improve on<\/p>\n \u201cSonny you’re a great man\u2026 I know I need to do better as a son as well,\u201d he admitted in a candid moment.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1_LDBR_MEN_160256_Sonny.jpg\")
