Dance acts impress at 'Talent' auditions

Simon Cowell has tipped two dance acts for success on the new series of Britain's Got Talent.

Father-and-son act Stavros Flatley and London-based dance troupe Flawless became firm favourites with the music mogul when they auditioned for the ITV1 series earlier this year.

Greek Cypriot duo Stavros Flatley, also known as Demetrios and Lagi Demetriou, won praise from Cowell after performing their own interpretation of Riverdance.

Addressing the panel, Demetrios, 40, explained: "Being in a Greek family, it's all about being close and family is very important. Today we are going to show you one part of Greek culture, which is dancing."

Lagi, 14, added: "I would go to my Dad's restaurant, and when I saw him dancing and the passion he had, I just wanted to be up there with him."

Following the performance, Cowell predicted a bright future for the pair, describing them as "one of my favourite dance acts ever".

Meanwhile, dance troupe Flawless received a standing ovation from the music boss following their own audition.

Cowell commented: "[That was] one of the best things I have seen in my life."

Britain's Got Talent airs at 7.45pm tonight on ITV1.
