Following similar protests happening all across Europe, the farmers are demanding a lowering in taxes as well as stronger import controls due to pesticide use.

After having a little costume mishap as it got tangled with a prop, Victoria still kept the show going on like a true professional. 

Despite not passing on to the next round, the judges explained that they gave her a no just because they don’t want the difficulty of the competition to knock her confidence down.

Victoria is still however being considered for the Most Promising Performer award, meaning Victoria’s Brillanti journey not ending just yet. 

Judge Marina went on stage to help her with her costume and the two shared two adorable hugs together.
