Britain's Got Talent has produced many well-known acts in its time with the likes of Susan Boyle and the dance group Diversity being among them.
One that fans of the ITV talent show might remember is the street dance duo Twist and Pulse (Ashley Glazebrook-Durbidge and Glen Murphy respectively).
The pair impressed the judges with their skills and ended up being runners-up on the 2010 edition of the show.

A few people commented on the post, shocked at how well the duo had aged 15 years on from their run on Britain's Got Talent.
One person wrote: "Why haven't you aged".
Meanwhile, another shared: "never mind their dancing.....how come they haven't aged AT ALL!!!??? legit magicians".

Another commented: "Twist and pulse + this remix? I'm 15 again and life is simple".
A third posted: "Twist and pulse were the pinnacle act for BGT , still awesome".

ICE says it detained TikTok's top star, Khaby Lame, who then left the US
Lame, an Italian-Senegalese creator with around 160 million followers on TikTok, had overstayed the terms of his visa after entering the US on April 30, the spokesperson said. He was briefly detained at Las Vegas's Harry Reid International Airport before being granted voluntary departure. He's since left the country, they said. A representative for Lame declined to comment. The 25-year-old creator became TikTok's most-followed star in 2022 after developing a signature comedic style of silent reactions to social-media absurdities. The creator leveraged his TikTok audience into a business that BI previously reported had grossed $16.5 million in 2023 from brand deals alone. After gaining internet fame, Lame broke into other parts of media, attending this year's Met Gala and building a collection with the clothing brand Hugo Boss. Lame has also partnered with brands like Google, State Farm, and Pepsi, which worked with the creator in a marketing push tied to the 2024 Super Bowl. He's appeared as a character in the video game "Fortnite," and previously said that much of his brand work is in the US. "I don't think I have a single sponsor in Italy," Lame told BI last year. The main thing keeping him in Italy is family, he said.

ICE detains most-followed TikTok star amid Trump immigration crackdown
Khaby Lame, an Italian-Senegalese influencer with the largest following on TikTok, was detained by ICE. Lame was detained at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas for immigration violations on Friday, June 6, USA TODAY reported. ICE told the outlet that Lame 'overstayed the terms of his visa' after coming to the U.S. on April 30. The TikTok star was born in Senegal and is now an Italian citizen. USA TODAY also noted that Lame was granted voluntary departure once detained. With more than 162 million TikTok followers, Lame rose to fame during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 25-year-old started posting videos after he was laid off from his factory job in Italy in March 2020, according to USA TODAY. Lame is best known for his signature video style in which he often mocks another content creator for showing a complicated life hack by completing the same task with ease. His most popular video has racked up more than 356 million views since it was posted in June 2021. Arrests by ICE during Donald Trump's second term officially topped 100,000 last week, CBS News reported. The president recently deployed thousands of National Guard members to immigration protests that broke out in Los Angeles over the weekend. An initial 2,000 Guard troops ordered by Trump started arriving in the city Sunday after demonstrations began Friday in downtown Los Angeles after federal immigration authorities arrested more than 40 people across the city. Another 2,000 National Guard troops along with 700 Marines were sent to Los Angeles on Monday, as well, the Associated Press reported. Trump deployed the troops despite Gov. Gavin Newsom's objections, marking what appears to be the first time in decades that a state's National Guard was activated without a request from its governor, according to the AP. Newsom said on X Monday that he was filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration for illegally taking over the National Guard. 'Donald Trump's violation of the U.S. Constitution is an overstep of his authority,' Newsom wrote. 'We will not let this stand.'
