A group of young Minions from Port Talbot received high praise during Britain Got Talent's live semi-final, as Simon Cowell said they "really have a chance of winning". The energetic dance crew, named Lil M's, are from TDM Dance school in Port Talbot.
The group, dressed as Minions, performed to a dance medley which included Galantis' Peanut Butter Jelly, the YMCA and the Star Wars theme tune. Just as they did in their first audition they chose to poke fun at judge Simon Cowell, this time spraying him with yellow and blue ribbon.
The performance got the judges on their feet too as they danced along with the Welsh youngsters. The panel were all in agreement with their admiration for the group, receiving amazing feedback across the board.
Alesha Dixon was the first judge up, she exclaimed: "Oh my word what a start, what a start to the night!" For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter .
"It's never easy being the first up but I think you have captured the spirit of this show with so much joy and energy. All of you did exceptionally well. I loved the choreography, I love that you've done this to Simon. It was absolutely wonderful."

Amanda Holden commented: "Your energy, the choreography, the music choices were just brilliant. Me and Simon were discussing the fact that we thought that was better than your audition. That's what tonight's all about."
Bruno Tunioli couldn't contain his excitement following the impressive performance, saying the group had "gone galactic". He continued: "The force is with you. I didn't think it was possible to have so much fun on stage as you did tonight, incredible."
Referring to their antics with Simon, he joked: "And your fashion designers as well. It's the best outfit Simon has had in a very long time! You look fantastic darling."
Eventually they came to Simon, who was happy to see the funny side of their pranks on him, commenting "at least you didn't make me look stupid tonight".
He said: "I think this was better than your first audition. The music was brilliant, I could see a lot more work has gone in to it and I definitely think you really have a chance of winning!
"You never know on this show, genuinely I think the public at home are going to love you."
After he'd finished sharing his thoughts the TV judge asked them to remind him what they would do with the £250,000 prize money if they won. One member of the group simply replied: "Bananas!" Each to their own!
After the performance presenter Dec encouraged them to keep targeting Simon and reflecting on the performance, said: "What a start!"

Star of ITV's Benidorm says she's forced to live 'couch-to-couch'
Star of ITV's Benidorm says she's forced to live 'couch-to-couch' The actress and comedian is best known for playing Janey Yorke in the ITV comedy 'I just sort of move around from couch to couch' (Image: ITV ) Comedian and actress Crissy Rock has revealed that her current work commitments have her "living like a nomad". The Liverpudlian, famed for her portrayal of Solana hotel manager Janey Yorke in ITV's hit series Benidorm, is gearing up for a fresh UK tour, which sees her lifestyle become one of "couch to couch". In an exclusive chat with the 66 year-old entertainer said: "Me, I'm like a nomad. I live from place to place to place. My wardrobe is just the boot of my car. If it wasn't for my friend, I would be living in a hostel or a cardboard box. "When I'm in Liverpool, I go and see her and I have family and that so I just sort of move around from couch to couch." Crissy delved into the reasons behind her transient lifestyle, stating: "It's just my job, it takes me everywhere." She continued: "You can't become complacent, because every job is different." Discussing her imminent tour, Crissy said that audiences will be treated to tales spanning from Christine Murray to Crissy Rock. It's been so busy she's had to schedule additional shows, she said: "It's gone berserk. I can't believe it. I'm really excited about it." For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter Article continues below "It's a journey of up and down," the acress added, saying that while she'll touch on more sombre chapters of her life, laughter will not be in short supply. Crissy remarked: "I think that's how I've coped with my life. Through humour." Crissy confessed that amidst the hustle of her solo act, she would love to see Benidorm return to screens. She said: "I've heard that the show could come back and I think that it would be brilliant if they did bring it back. "But I can't say much, but I would love it to happen. It's up to the writer, and I think that you couldn't say half of the things now. You'd have to be politically correct, so would it be the same?" Crissy is going on tour across the UK (Image: PR supplied ) "The full cast, all of them, were brilliant. We had a lovely time. I think it was so popular because people could relate to the characters. They all knew someone who was like that. They could relate to the people who were on the programme." Envisioning a possible revival plot, Crissy suggested: "I think it would be fab if Janey Yorke and Joyce Temple-Savage got back and locked horns over who was managing the Solana. That would be good, wouldn't it? Because they hated each other." Article continues below Currently, Crissy is entertaining audiences across the UK with her production, An Evening With Crissy Rock: From Bedlam To Benidorm. The show schedule extends well into Spring 2026 beyond its initial run in June 2025.

The 1% Club's tricky alphabet question knocks out a whopping 18 players – but would you have been one of them?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE 1% Club's questions once again proved to be too much for most after one query wiped out almost a fifth of the studio. During one particularly savage round, 18 hopefuls were sent home when they failed to spot the correct sequences of letters. Did you manage to get it right? Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Lee Mack was stunned by how many people got knocked out Credit: ITV 5 There were four options to choose from Credit: ITV 5 The question knocked out 18 people Credit: ITV 5 The tricky question was a brainteaser Credit: ITV The jaw-dropping moment unfolded in series two, episode five of the hit ITV quiz show, where host Lee Mack watched in disbelief as a simple-sounding question exposed just how tricky the game can be. Players were shown four words and asked to spot the one that does not contain three consecutive letters from the alphabet. The options were, Unopenable, Understandable, Unquestionable, and Undefineable. It might look easy on the surface, but spotting sequences like 'DEF' or 'RST' hidden in the words proved harder than expected. Players had just 30 seconds to examine the words and pick out the correct answer. The answer turned out to be C, 'Unquestionable'. ' Unopenable' contains 'NOP', 'Undefineable' includes 'DEF', and 'Understandable' also hides 'RST'. That left as the only one without a consecutive alphabetical trio, making it the right answer. Eighteen contestants failed to spot it, knocking them out of the game in one fell swoop. The shock exit had jaws dropping in the studio. Host Lee Mack kept his cool, but couldn't hide his surprise as players who had breezed through earlier rounds were taken out by the sneaky wording. The question came late in the game, reserved for the sharpest minds — but it still managed to trip up even the most confident contestants. Previously, a whopping 20 players were wiped out in a brutally challenging picture question. The result of the 30% question changed the face of the game, shedding half of the remaining current players. Lee read aloud to the group: "How many RIGHT FOOTPRINTS can you see in the sand." An image was then displayed showcasing an assortment of footprints in the sand. Players were then given 30 seconds to differentiate between the right and left feet. The image then turned the eight right feet green in order to correctly display which of the options the players should have been looking at. The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
