Impressionist Craig Ball reaches Britain’s Got Talent final

Simon Cowell has liked a Britain’s Got Talent semi-final act so much he wants to book them for his son Eric’s third birthday.

After a nail-biting few days, Nottinghamshire couple Shannon and Peter Parker found out they would be appearing in the Britain’s Got Talent final on Saturday night.

They are loved by Simon Cowell whose dream had always been to see a group of Storm Troopers dancing, and gave them his Golden Buzzer.

“You sir are a wizard”, said Cowell.

Frank Sinatra meets Danny Dyer with this cheeky crooner, who will be hoping his Essex charm can take him all the way to the final.

All four star judges got to their feet after the 12-year-old, from Widnes, stole the show with her performance of Someone Like You from Jekyll and Hyde.

He is the current favourite with the bookmakers.

The talented magician – who serves in the British armed forces – may have left the blonde judge stunned when he made a page from her book go up in flames and materialise in a green bottle, but that didn’t stop him securing a spot in the forthcoming last round after he won over the public and dominated the votes. The way he treated us on Good Morning Britain was absolutely disgusting’.

Despite his rendition of the song receiving high praise from judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams, Simon was not impressed.

Surprise victor of the night, impressionist Craig Ball, managed to beat show-favourite Trip Hazard the dog and Ant and Dec’s Golden Buzzer act Jasmine Elcock with his impersonations of Disney and cartoon characters whilst singing Adele’s Hello.

She took to Instagram to share a snap with dance troupe Boogie Storm and social media users immediately noticed that there may have been a slight chill in the air.

There are still more than 30 acts to perform in the live semi-finals, ahead of the grand final on May 28. We’ll be barking mad if they don’t win.

But after failing to win enough public support, they will need to up their game even further to stand a chance of success.
