Mike, who is a teacher, returned to school and shared what he was greeted to on his first day back.
The TV star gave a sneak peek of what his classroom looked like in an Instagram post.
There were loads of signs hung up in the room.
One said: “BGT finalist. We are all so proud of you!”
Talking to the camera, Mike said: “I’ve just got back to school… Look what the kids have done.
“They’re cute.
“I’m very lucky.”
Sydnie was crowned the champion of BGT 2024.
She wowed the judges and viewers with her killer performance of Somewhere Over The Rainbow inspired by singer Loren Allred.
Sydnie hit back at “fix” claims made by fans, branding them “soul destroying”.
Simon Cowell revealed brutal clue over Bruno Tonioli’s Britain’s Got Talent future during live final days before he was dropped
Speaking to OK Mag, she said: “It wouldn’t have mattered if I’d gone first. I don’t know what to say, soul destroying isn’t it?”
The singer continued: “It’s difficult, it takes it away from how hard the journey was or how rewarding the success is.
“They just think that, ‘Oh, it’s obvious it was given to her.’ It really wasn’t. I had to graft. I had to really graft and believe and want.
Britain’s Got Talent Judges
The ITV talent show wouldn’t be the same without the four charismatic judges who put the contestants through their paces.
Simon Cowell is the staple of Britain’s Got Talent and resumes his role as head judge. The mogul is one of the most iconic figures in music and is responsible for offsetting the careers of many performers around the world.
Amanda Holden has been a judge on Britain’s Got Talent since it first started in 2007. The sexy star is a firm fixture on the judging panel, which has helped her to become a household name.
Alesha Dixon is back to judge the new series of Britain’s Got Talent. The TV star joined the panel back in 2012 and quickly became a fan favourite.
Bruno Tonioli makes up the fab four. After leaving Strictly, he decided to move over to ITV and is the newest BGT judge after replacing David Walliams.
“I’m focusing on the people that did support me because I owe it all to them, without them it wouldn’t have happened.”
Last night BGT fans were shocked to find that Bruno will no longer be part of the show.
A source told us: “Once it became clear auditions were starting in October, as opposed to January as per the previous 17 series, it became clear Bruno may not be able to take part.
“He’s committed to the US, but the new format for BGT is non- negotiable because the show will effectively be replacing Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.
“Bruno has been a real hit with his fellow judges and viewers so it would be incredibly sad to see him go.”
BGT’s Best Golden Buzzer Moments
BGT have handed out many Golden Buzzer’s over the years, can you remember some of the most famous
- Loren Allred – Loren Allred, 32, from Brooklyn, New York jetted to London to audition after recording the vocals for The Greatest Showman. The stunning singer got a standing ovation and a Golden Buzzer from the judges as she delivered a stirring rendition of Never Enough from the popular film. Loren came out on stage and revealed to the judges they would have heard her voice many times before that moment. “I was hired to record the vocals for The Greatest Showman as a guide for the actors to know how to sing the songs,” she explained. Loren then revealed actress Rebecca Ferguson was so stunned by her singing that she decided to let her vocals be heard in the movie. “So she lip-synced,” Loren said.
- Chicken Shed Theatre Company – Comprised of individuals aged between 5 and 37, the group was set up to welcome anyone irrespective of background to get up on stage and perform and fulfil their dream. Chicken Shed prides itself on accepting anyone and does not hold auditions to make the group a safe and inclusive space. The group wowed as they performed Wonder by Naughty Boy featuring Emeli Sande. It meant that Alesha wasted no time as she decided to hit her golden buzzer for the young performers. She told them it was her “honour” to reward their inclusiveness with her golden buzzer.
- The Dancing Granny – Granny Paddy Jones and her professional partner Niko Espinosa first hit headlines when they won the Spanish talent show Tú sí que vales in 2009, before going on to appear on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014 where they came ninth. Amanda Holden was so impressed with Paddy that she gave her the Golden Buzzer, which sent them straight through to the semi-finals. But things took a worrying turn when Paddy cracked a rib while rehearsing a new move and her place on the show was under doubt. She was given the all-clear to perform in the end but didn’t quite live up to expectations.
- Bars and Melody – They will forever be remembered for their anti-bullying song on the talent show. Bars and Melody were first seen on the 2014 series of Britain’s Got Talent, getting shuttled into the semi-finals when Simon Cowell pressed his Golden Buzzer. They made it to the final thanks to a performance of I’ll Be Missing You but lost out on the crown to Collabro. These days Charlie Lenehan – known as Melody – is covered in tattoos, with inkings on his neck, arms and chest. But he is as close as ever to co-star Leondre Devries – who is Bars – with the pair seen enjoying themselves in exotic locations all over the world.
