Panel's tears for shadow dancers - The Sun

SHADOW dancers Attraction mesmerised their way into the BGT final last night — reducing the show's judges and viewers to tears.

And singer-songwriter Jordan O'Keefe, 18, grabbed the second spot in next Saturday's live final after winning a tense stand-off with ventriloquist Steve Hewlett, 38.

Attraction's ecstatic choreographer Zoltan Szucs said: "I would like to thank the British public for the fantastic support they've given us."

The Hungarian favourites even had Simon Cowell, 53, sobbing at Zoltan's emotional life story. The performance, dedicated to Zoltan's mum, shows a woman raising her son into adulthood.

He then watches her pass away — but the circle of life is completed as his partner reveals her pregnancy bump.

The nine dancers — who had become a huge internet hit — won a standing ovation from all four judges. David Walliams, 41, said: "It's quite simply one of the most beautiful things we have ever, ever seen."

Jordan, from Drumahoe, Northern Ireland, was delighted to claim the second berth. He said: "No words can describe how much it means to get through. It's surreal."
