They join Flakefleet Primary School, led by Hartlepool-born Dave McPartlin in Fleetwood, and police and dog duo Dave and Finn - the acts chosen in Monday's semi-final.

Dave and his children netted a place in the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent after being awarded a coveted golden buzzer by show judge David Walliams.

This meant the act bypassed the next stage of the contest to make it straight through to the live shows.

Flakefleet's performance of Don't Stop Me Now by Queen, featuring the choir in all variety of costumes, touched hearts across the country.

On sending them through, Walliams told Dave McPartlin: "You are a great teacher."

Monday's performance to Holding Out For A Hero by Bonnie Tyler led Simon Cowell to say he thought Flakefleet could win the entire show.
