EIGHT years after throwing eggs at Simon Cowell, former Britain’s Got Talent backing musician Natalie Holt has made the A-list of Hollywood.
Natalie, 38, is the composer for Loki – the latest Marvel series on Disney+.
The time-travel superhero series stars Tom Hiddleston as the titular God of Mischief.
It’s the most high-profile gig for Natalie since her headline grabbing Britain’s Got Talent stint.
Her previous credits include working on the soundtrack for British flick Paddington.
In 2013, Natalie was a violinist during the final of Britain’s Got Talent for classical opera duo Richard and Adam’s performance of The Impossible Dream.
Speaking after the controversial incident, Natalie told the Guardian: “My actions were intended as a non-violent, egg-based protest because I think Cowell has too much power and influence in the entertainment industry.
“I also just wanted to make him look a bit silly…”
Natalie went on to explain that her egg-throwing antics had caused her to miss out on high-profile work opportunities.

She explained: “The consequences of my prank have already turned out to be more serious than I had anticipated. I have already had work cancelled.”
Natalie’s work on Loki has won praise from international critics.
The Washington Post claimed: “Loki is beautifully scored by British composer Natalie Holt, who delivers a mostly suspenseful and mysterious vibe while providing Marvel’s horned menace with a theme song that might just be the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s best.”
