Heidi Klum gushes over dopplegangers on AGT panel

Heidi Klum and her ex husband Seal found their diminutive duplicates on America’s Got Talent on Tuesday.

It was surely a startling moment for the Kiss From A Rose singer and guest judge, who divorced the blonde model in 2014.

But the pair were clearly delighted to see their tiny doppelgängers, dancers Artyon and Paige who had already planned their wedding down to the finest details.

‘I want diamond shoes,’ announced nine-year-old Paige, clearly giddy at the thought of her future nuptials.

‘It’s a mini Seal and Heidi!’ cackled 44-year-old Heidi, who has remained remarkably friendly with the English warbler since their divorce.

Artyon, eight, and Piage danced to Time Of My Life and ended up receiving a standing ovation.

‘I now realize why this show is the biggest show in America,’ said Seal, 54, who has four children with Heidi.

‘You went from annoying the first time to something actually really, really good, it was fun,’ said Simon Cowell.

‘I love you!’ squawked German-born beauty Heidi.

Seal hit his Golden Buzzer for Johnny Manuel, who’d achieved success a youngster, but was dropped by his record label.

The 32-year-old sang Lately by Stevie Wonder.

‘It’s just flawless,’ said 42-year-old Mel B, who in the process of divorcing her husband Stephen Belafonte.

Pop svengali Simon did not agree, bellowing: ‘I thought it was quite annoying.’ He then asked him to try I Have Nothing by Whitney Houston instead.

Seal hit his Golden Buzzer, sending Johnny right to The Live Shows, insisting it was, ‘An incredible rendition.’

Other acts to make it to the next round were: A cappella group In The Stairwell, poodle trainers Pompeyo Family Dogs, gospel choir DaNell Daymon and Greater Works, 12-year-old dancer Merrick Hanna and Nigerian plane crash survivor Kechi,

Things took a nightmarish turn for singer Britt Saasen, 21, when she failed to make it through after singing Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams.

‘I could see the nerves…you have to believe in yourself,’ noted Seal.

In The Stairwell, a military, all-male a cappella group, had entered AGT for a dare, and performed NSYNC’s Bye Bye Bye.

‘You’re all awkward but it’s adorable,’ Mel B told the group of young fellows.

Next up was Taiwanese ‘visual illusionist’ Will Tsai, 33, who created a fish from a cube of ice.

‘That was amazing!’ Said Howie Mandell, but Simon and Seal were underwhelmed.

‘I thought he was going to be good,’ remarked Simon afterwards.

Another magician, 15-year-old Henry Richardson, had some nifty card tricks.

Heidi, who was clearly impressed by his deck handling, told him he was ‘Fantastic.’

Grasping for words, befuddled Simon told the teen: ‘You’ve got a good personality.’

Elena and Sasha, aged 30 and 47, had a dangerous routine with a crossbow that missed the mark.

Sharp as an arrow, Simon pointed out they ‘didn’t actually hit the bullseye,’ before sending them home.

Poodle trainers Pompeyo Family Dogs had the crowd laughing with an array of pups and their cute 7-year-old daughter.

‘I’ve got three new puppies and I can’t even get one of them to pee on the pee pee pad,’ sighed Mel.

Simon and Seal weren’t too impressed with Maria’s contortionist routine, but the ladies of the panel loved it.

‘I kept waiting for something to happen,’ frowned Simon.

Maxim had a nail biting balancing act using a stack of chairs.

‘Between you and your wife, you have definitely won the battle,’ said Simon.

‘You are so beautiful right now,’ said the Kiss from a Rose hitmaker, who has some facial scars of his own, from a skin condition known as discoid lupus.
