Bruno Tonioli hits golden buzzer for Phoenix Boys

A boy from Bournemouth was amongst a dance company which received the golden buzzer on last Saturday night’s episode of Britain’s Got Talent.

Teddy Holton-Frances is a member of Phoenix Boys, which includes dancers from all over the UK.

In fact, such was judge Bruno Tonioli’s excitement that he hit the golden buzzer so hard that it smashed as he said the group reminded him of being a young male dancer.

Members of the group said it felt like everything was frozen in time and getting the gold was the most surreal experience and the happiest moment of their lives. The group enjoyed a standing ovation from the whole auditorium at the London Palladium.

Teddy said: “Receiving the Golden Buzzer was a dream come true. It made me jump it was so loud. I just couldn’t believe it. I still can’t believe it happened.”

Teddy trains at Pure Drama Theatre School and Prompt Corner Academy of Dance and attends Avonwood Primary School and said he cannot wait to go live in front of the nation in a few weeks with his friends.
