It’s the return of Britain’s Got Talent! For the 2012, Simon Cowell returns, joined by Amanda Holden and new judges Alesha Dixon and loveable Little Britain star David Walliams!
Ashleigh Butler has admitted that she would consider adding another dog to her and Pudsey’s brilliant act.
The 16 year old and her gorgeous pooch won Britain’s Got Talent on Saturday night and already insiders are talking about movie work and book deals.
Butler says the people haven’t seen all she has to offer yet and as she has six other dogs at home, there are always other canine pals ready to join up.
ITV have revealed the voting figures from this year’s series of the ITV show and as you can see below, there were some very clear winners over the course of last week’s semi finals.
Jonathan and Charlotte may not have won the final last night, having been pipped to the post by puppy Pudsey and his owner Ashleigh, however they received the highest voting percentage over the semi finals shows, bringing in a whopping 75.3% of all the votes last Monday night.
Simon Cowell is reportedly planning to take Ashleigh and Pudsey to Hollywood, to score them some big film work.
The doggy duo won Britain’s Got Talent last night, after their Mission Impossible themed routine impressed not just the panel but many of the 14 million viewers as well.
After their triumph, Cowell reportedly claimed that not only will he take 16 year old Ashleigh and her pup to America to advance their career, but revealed that they can even stay with him at his LA mansion.
The Sun quote the music mogul as saying:
A massive peak audience of 14.5 million (13.8 million excluding ITV1+1 viewing) watched the final of Britain’s Got Talent – the highest recorded peak audience of any programme in 2012; and up on the peak audience to last year’s final.
The previous highest recorded peak audience in 2012 was Britain’s Got Talent on April 14th, which was watched by 12.9 million viewers at its peak.
Between 7.30pm and 10pm, the Britain’s Got Talent final drew an average audience of 11.9 million (11.4 million excluding ITV1+1 viewing), making it the highest rating programme of the year, on any channel – pushing Coronation Street on January 23rd, which attracted 11.2 million viewers, into second place.
Jonathan Antoine may not have won Britain’s Got Talent last night, but Simon Cowell doesn’t think it will harm his career too much.
The 17 year old opera singer took to the stage with his singing partner Charlotte Jaconelli and performed the stunning song ‘The Prayer’ for the final show, winning high praise from all the judges and even a standing ovation.
However it wasn’t enough to help them win the competition and the duo finished in second place, just missing out on the £500,000 prize money as they were pipped to the post by a pup.
Ryan O’Shaughnessy has admitted that he has already written enough songs for his debut album, which he is hoping he can release very soon.
The Irish singer shone once more on last night’s Britain’s Got Talent final, when he gave his track ‘No Name’ another outing and won unanimous praise from all of the panel.
It wasn’t enough to win him a place in the top three, but then he was up against some amazing talent, however the 19 year old still has big plans for the future.
Tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent series finale was like a throw back to 2009!
Susan Boyle – who came second on the ITV show three years ago – returned to perform tonight, after the eleven acts competing for the title had showcased their talent for the last time.
Also taking to the stage, was the winners of that year’s series Diversity.
Simon Cowell has revealed that he is keen to have the same judging lineup on Britain’s Got Talent next year.
The music mogul added David Walliams and Alesha Dixon to the panel, joining himself and Amanda Holden when the show returned earlier this year and the stars have been such a hit with the public, that he wants them all back in twelve months time.
David Walliams has offered some words of consolation to Jonathan Antoine and Charlotte Jaconelli this evening, after they failed to win the Britain’s Got Talent series.
The opera singing duo wowed the judges with their version of ‘The Prayer’ on the grand finale episode and made it as far as the final two in the competition.
However, after coming so close to winning the £500,000 prize money and a spot on the Royal Variety Show, the pair lost out to another duo…dog act Ashleigh and Pudsey.
Despite his failure to dance with them tonight, Simon Cowell is actually elated that Ashleigh and Pudsey won the Britain’s Got Talent final show.
The music mogul has bee desperate for a dog act to shine on the ITV series for years and he revealed on tonight’s Britain’s Got More Talent that he thinks the duo have a bright future ahead.
