A teenage dancer from Morecambe narrowly missed out on a place in the Britain's Got Talent final despite blowing the judges away with a stunning routine.
Jordan Hicks and the Phoenix Boys dancers came third in the live semi-final on Thursday night on ITV1, just beaten to a place in the final by a public vote.
The all-male dance troupe delivered a captivating performance to Sam Ryder's version of 'You're the Voice', receiving a standing ovation from the audience.
The group had received the famous 'Golden Buzzer' from Britain's Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli during their auditon, putting them straight through to the semi-final.
Bruno said after the performance on Thursday: "That was so beautiful. The choreography was superb. I am so proud of you, I am speechless, brilliant."
Amanda Holden said: "The staging was gorgeous. I could feel how much it meant to all of you. A gorgeous performance."
And Simon Cowell said: "I am unbelievably proud of all of you. It was just powerful, it was joyous."
Phoenix Boys were one of the top three acts in the public vote on Thursday, but were edged out by semi-final winners Abigail and Afronitaaa, and then after the judges were locked at two votes each, by runners-up Northants Sings Out choir.
Jordan, 15, is a former Bay Leadership Academy and Sandylands school pupil, and trained at Elite Dance Studios in Heysham before joining Chester’s prestigious The Hammond performing arts school in September 2023.

Phoenix Boys is a nationwide dance associate programme which currently runs in London, Manchester and Birmingham. It provides training to budding male dancers with no audition to be involved.
The Hammond offers specialist, full-time performing arts training to students across school, college and degree courses.
