Joy for two Lancashire boys after their dance company's golden buzzer on Britain's Got Talent

Finley O’Brien Gleeson Davies, from Blackpool, and Morecambe’s Jordan Hicks are members of the Phoenix Boys dance company, which earned the golden buzzer from dance legend and BGT judge Bruno Tonioli.

The dance company was featured on the episode of the ITV talent show broadcast last weekend.

Bruno hit the golden buzzer so hard he smashed it, and the honour saw the Phoenix Boys clinch a coveted place in the semi-finals, being shown live every night next week.

Phoenix Boys, made up of members from all over the UK, enjoyed a standing ovation from the audience at the London Palladium and Tonioli said how the group reminded him of being a young male dancer.

He said: “Performing on Britain’s Got Talent was different all us boys dancing together from all over and getting that reaction from Bruno was amazing.

“Bruno understands how difficult it is for boys who dance. I can’t wait to go live in front of the nation with the rest of the Phoenix Boys.”

Jordan, a former Bay Leadership Academy and Sandylands pupil, said the Britain’s Got Talent experience at the Palladium was “the best feeling in my life”. "I will never forget that moment,” added Jordan, who trained at Elite Dance Studios in Heysham.

“I’m so proud of my team, we have made the best memories together.”
