Acrobatic gymnast group Spelbound stormed to victory last night in the final of Britain's Got Talent.
The high-flying troupe beat comedy dance act Twist and Pulse, who finished second and drummer Kieran Gaffney, who came third.
It was a well deserved victory for the 13-strong group who blew the judges and audience away with a thrilling and dangerous routine. Sprayed in shimmering gold the group, who have an age range of 12-25, showed incredible strength and balance. At one point they threw one of the group over the heads of stunned judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan.
Entertaining double act Twist and Pulse, aka Ashley Glazebrook and Glen Murphy, finished second on the night. Whilst they must be disappointed with being beaten to the crown the boys, both 19, did incredibly well to finish second after performing first on the night. Their high energy, precise and funny routines are engaging to watch and technically superb.
Drummer boy Gaffney who played whilst being suspended on a tilted platform, finished third on the night. Whilst Gaffney is extremely talented at what he does and always plays with passion and commitment, the act had its limitations.
Other disappointed acts included unique dancer Tobias Mead, who returned with his backward dance routine that was such a hit at the auditions. Boyband Connected performed Westlife's What About Now. Despite being much improved from their semi-final performance they failed to impress Simon Cowell or the public. Other singers on the night included teenage Liam McNally, accountant Christopher Stone and 80-year-old Janey Cutler, who gave a powerful performance of Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien.
But it was not only the singers that missed out last night. The cute dancing dog Chandi and her owner Tina Humphreys melted everyone's heart with another charming routine. Impressionist Paul Burling mimicked the likes of Andy and Lou from Little Britain, Jeremy Clarkson and Graham Norton whilst singing along to his version of the Proclaimers I'm Gonna Be (500 miles).
But it was to be Spelbound's golden night. Despite having the advantage of the coveted last spot of the night, they were deserved winners. Their thrilling routines amaze and entertain and the group are an example of the extraordinarily talented variety acts that a show like Britain's Got Talent can unearth.
