Twist and Pulse shot to fame on the 2010 series of Britain’s Got Talent and when they finished as runners up on the ITV show, behind gymnastics troupe ‘Spellbound’, they claimed that they were going to use any money they made to set up their own dance school.
Well it appears that the boys have done just that, as at yesterday’s London auditions for the 2012 series, the boys took their new troupe ‘Twist And Pulse Dance Company’ out to meet the judges and to try out for the talent show. The dancers performed without the original stars, but of course, the boys had to show themselves after the routine had ended.

The Britain’s Got Talent auditions have been going very well this year….until yesterday that was. Let’s just say that a lot happened on the first day of the London tryouts.
The first surprise for me was obviously the new guest judge. Of all the people that were expected, Carmen Electra certainly wasn’t and I have to admit that her arrival yesterday afternoon shocked more than a few of the waiting crowd.
On arriving David Walliams got an incredible crowd reaction, however his American counterpart certainly didn’t go down as well with the audience. Some took to Twitter to remark that they “think Carmen needs to take a chill pill” or labelling her as “bland” and boring. Others said she “needs to get a sense of humour.” And one then put the knife in saying: “Don’t think anyone liked Carmen Electra being a judge!” Carmen was undetered, telling reporters: “I kinda fancy Simon. He’s cute and I love his sarcasm.”

We aren’t sure who to believe about yesterday’s Britain’s Got Talent auditions in London.
Some people have suggested that guest judge Carmen Electra was less than useless, could hardly string a sentence together and instead spent the whole evening just copying Simon Cowell and buzzing acts shortly after he did.
One Twitter user remarked that the music mogul would have been better hiring a ‘monkey’ to sit in Amanda Holden’s seat when she was on maternity leave.
However, today’s Mirror newspaper tells a different story. In it, it has been claimed that the Baywatch babe was actually very cutting, harsh and opinionated when the tryouts started in Hammersmith Apollo yesterday.

Carmen Electra didn’t get the warmest reception at the Britain’s Got Talent auditions in London yesterday, it has been reported.
The former Baywatch actress was drafted in to replace Amanda Holden for the day, after she gave birth to her new baby daughter Hollie Rose two weeks ago and was left seriously ill following the labour.
Insiders say that the crowd at Hammersmith Apollo did not react well to the American star stepping into Holden’s shoes and that from the minute she left her car, she was heckled by onlookers, who screamed that they wanted Amanda back.

It was quite a shock to us this morning, when we heard that Carmen Electra would be the standing in today as a Britain’s Got Talent guest judge.
When it became clear that Amanda Holden wasn’t going to be well enough to attend tryouts in England’s capital city, David Walliams revealed that ITV bosses had called in a stand in star. However, rumours suggested that the celebrity would be Eastenders’ Samantha Womack or Popstars’ Myleene Klass….we had not heard Electra’s name even uttered in conjunction with the ITV show.
