No-one should be shy about their body, says Britain Got Talent naked violist

The ‘sexy’ violinist who wowed all four judges on Britain’s Got Talent has defended her decision to pose naked for a risque photo shoot.

Analiza Ching, who posed nude with her violin covering her breasts, said: ‘I just wanted to try something different and I really don’t think anyone should be shy about their own body.

‘We are all human at the end of the day.’

Analiza won the approval of all four judges for an energetic routine during which her violin playing was accompanied by enthusiastic dancing.

Little Britain star David Walliams told her: ‘You made playing the violin sexy,’ and head judge Simon Cowell said her act ‘was exactly what we should be looking for in a show like this’.

Analiza, originally from China, said that she didn’t set out to be provocative when she performed.

She said: ‘You can never try to be sexy because you’ve either got it or not. For me, it’s the music and every time I start playing the violin and the music starts, my whole body and my personality changes.’

Analiza has performed in front of several members of the Royal Family and counts Colin Firth, the Oscar-winning star of The King’s Speech, as a fan.

Currently single, she has inevitably been compared to Vanessa Mae, another classical musician with mainstream appeal.

She said she hoped her participation in Britain’s Got Talent would bring her work to a whole new audience, adding: ‘I hope the show will give me a bigger stage and a bigger career.

‘It is a great chance for me.’
