Diversity film deal is close, says Ashley Banjo

Ashley Banjo has revealed that his dance troupe Diversity is "close" to landing a movie deal.

The Britain's Got Talent 2009 winners have previously appeared as themselves in Streetdance 3D, but are now hoping for a standalone movie.

Banjo told the Belfast Telegraph: "The film thing for us is closer than people expect, and I'm pretty sure it will happen in the near future."

The dancer added that the group will be appearing at the 2012 Olympics, but refused to reveal any details of their participation.

He said: "I can't confirm yet, but as a group we're definitely going to be involved in the Olympics in a performance sense."

Speaking about Diversity's popularity, he added: "I'm quite confident that people would always enjoy us, whether we were popular or not, but since Britain's Got Talent it's been like a snowball effect. It's been more and more popular.

"That proves the public really enjoy what we do, because it's more than two years now since the show, and we're about to embark on our biggest tour yet, not our smallest one.

"That's a good sign when the public keep coming back for more."

Diversity will return for Streetdance 2, along with George Sampson and Flawless.
