'Talent' dancer 'did restaurant cabaret'

Britain's Got Talent star Demetrios Demetriou has revealed that he came up with his dance routine to entertain customers at his Greek restaurant.

The 40-year-old and his 14-year-old son Lagi wowed the judges as Stavros Flatley on last week's show, with Simon Cowell calling them "one of my favourite dance acts ever".

Demetrios told The Mirror: "Ten years ago I owned a Greek restaurant. The food wasn't great and Gordon Ramsay would have hated it.

"We did a bit of cabaret and then we relied on that more as the food wasn't good. I needed a finale to get people dancing. Michael Flatley was big at the time so I decided to give it a go."

He added: "What is funnier than a fat fella doing Michael Flatley? I'm feeding Lagi up for the finals."
