Britain’s Got Talent

The winners of Britain’s Got Talent this season look to have nabbed themselves a major pay-day.

Dance troupe Attraction have reportedly been offered £1.2million to take up a three-month residency at a hotel in Las Vegas.

The Hungarian act were seen by around 13 million viewers winning the ITV talent show earlier this month, beating fellow finalist Jack Carroll with a public vote majority of 30%.

The group took home £250,000 in prize money for the win.

It appears the notorious Britain’s Got Talent egg-hurler didn’t just ruin Simon Cowell’s suit jacket.

Finalists Richard and Adam believe that Natalie Holt – who interrupted their performance to hurl eggs at Cowell – ruined their chance to win.

The Welsh brothers believe their flow was ruined by the incident.

“She said she was protesting about music not being performed properly, but we were there singing our hearts out, performing live and she ruined it,” said Richard. Continue reading »

The 2013 Britain’s Got Talent final will forever be remembered as the one where Simon Cowell took an egg or two to the chest.

Saturday night’s finale was temporarily interrupted by 30-year-old back-up singer Natalie Holt who casually took to the front of the stage during Richard and Adam’s performance and gleefully threw eggs at Cowell.

She later cited her reasoning as wanting to wanting to take a stand against Cowell and “his dreadful influence on the music industry”.

Holt later said: “I want to apologise to Richard and Adam for overshadowing their performance. I’ve never done anything like this before and in hindsight I have realised it was a silly thing to do.”

ITV might as well stop now.

The eventual winner of Britain’s Got Talent is never going to get as much coverage as J-Lo’s bum has got following her appearance last night.

All it takes is a tight black leotard, some frilly wings and thigh-high boots to send the internet into a spin. Ashley and Pudsey, each your heart out.

J-Lo’s appearance on Britain’s Got Talent has got the internet talking thanks to her choice of outfit.

The singer took to the stage this week for the ITV show donning a black leotard that showed off more than some people wanted to see.

Even hosts Ant & Dec joked about being a tad flustered after interviewing her.

The first Britain’s Got Talent semi-final has been won by brothers Richard and Adam and young singer Arisxandra.

The public vote sent Richard and Adam straight through to the final before Arisxandra sneaked through ahead of Youth Creation after the judges’ vote went to deadlock.

Simon Cowell tried to rewrite the rules to allow both young acts to advance through to the final but Ant & Dec quickly shut that down by mentioning the public money that was spent on the voting.

Philip Green, Aaron Crow, Band of Voices, Bosom Buddies and J-Unity were eliminated from the competition tonight.
