“Utterly electrifying”, Flawless wowed the judges in the 2009 series of BGT. They soared to the finals thanks to their charming characterisation and incomparable talent. As one of the most defining acts in BGT history, they have won several street dance competitions. Dance acts like Flawless are at the top of their game.

Boogie Storm - 9.6/10

Some dance acts stand out due to their talent, others due to their costumes, but Boogie Storm infuses the two. Dressed as Stormtroopers from Star Wars, this unique dance group’s opening audition has been viewed over 100 million times on YouTube, making them one of the most popular BGT contestants.

Escala - 9.5/10

Escala is an electric string quartet with a difference. From their calm, cool and collected performance styles to their musical talent, they reached the final of BGT in 2008. Escala has since performed at several prestigious stages, including the 2008 FA Community Shield Final at Wembley Stadium, reflecting their ongoing relevance.

Siobhan Phillips - 9.4/10

Described as “totally amazing” by previous clients, Siobhan Phillips is as hilarious as she is talented. The singer performed her Victoria Wood-esque songs in 2019, which was met with a standing ovation from the judges. Incredibly entertaining, audiences of all ages revel in her relatable, hilarious and wickedly satirical songs.

Darren Altman - 9.3/10

Very few artists can rival Darren Altman’s slick, uncanny impressions. He wowed the BGT judges in 2016 when he effortlessly mimicked celebrities like Jeremy Clarkson and Gordon Ramsay. The voice-over artist makes the ideal event performer, as he can entertain audiences of all demographics.

Dean John-Wilson - 9.2/10

A semi-finalist on Britain’s Got Talent in 2008, Dean John-Wilson is a West End sensation and outstanding vocalist. Having studied at London’s Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, he has performed on some of the most prestigious stages in the country in such shows as Sister Act and Miss Atomic Bomb. Dean’s powerful singing draws emotion from his audience to leave a resounding impact.  

Faith Tucker - 9.1/10

Faith Tucker reignited the country’s love of classical music when she appeared on BGT 2019.

What are the benefits of booking a former BGT contestant? 

Entertainment is one of the most essential elements of any event, so booking a top-class performer for your function is important. In a survey, 97% of British people knew of Britain's Got Talent, reflecting the nationwide recognition of the talent show. Discover the benefits of booking a BGT contestant below. 

1. Talent

If there is one thing that unites every talent show winner, it is just that, their talent! These performers have been put through their paces week after week, singing, dancing, or entertaining their hearts out to remain the nation’s favourite. Such a journey has shaped them as professionals, honing their skills in trial by fire. These acts are guaranteed to entertain audiences with their unrivalled talent when booked for events.

2. Variety

Though singers are common on many reality television programmes, the format lends itself to various performers. From acrobats to comedians, dancing dogs to magicians, the wealth of winning genres means that there is an act for every event. If you require something different, these performers have not just filled a gap in the market but built their very own niche to thrive in. A talent show winner will surprise and delight audiences with their unique act.

3. Relatable

You will be hard-pressed to find a talent show winner who did not start just like you and me. With their relatable lives, these performers can connect with audiences personally, ensuring they leave a positive impression. When you book a talent show star, your audience will be enamoured with their likeable, authentic personalities.

4. Passion

Before fame on BGT, these performers probably heard more “no’s” than “yesses”. True to the nature of the industry, prospective stars must have enough passion for their craft to take criticism in their stride, a reflection of their dedication and spirit. When you book a talent show winner, you book a passionate performer who lives, eats, and breathes their respective act.

5. Rising Stars

When you book a talent show winner, you book an influential celebrity firmly set on a path to success. These rising stars are commonly more relevant than their chart-topping counterparts, as viewers will have followed their journey closely from the first audition to the final episode. Showing no signs of slowing down, hiring a thriving talent show star will make your event the talk of the town.
