Britain’s Got Talent viewers in floods of tears as dancers reveal heartbreaking story behind ’emotional’ audition

BRITAIN Got Talent fans were in floods of tears as a dance act revealed the heartbreaking story behind their "emotional" audition.

ITV viewers were left reaching for the tissues after a group called 5 Star Boys performed on Saturday night.

Beau, 12, Toby, 11, Adam, 10, Joey, 10 and Ollie, 11 said they were "excited and nervous" to be performing on the biggest talent show in the country.

The youngster explained they had been bullied in the past for being dancers, so the performance to You Will Be Found, from the hit musical Dear Evan Hansen meant a lot to them.

When asked why they wanted to take part in the show, they said: "We are trying to spread the word for boys who dance because it's not always easy for us because we get bullied.

"We kind of just want to say to ourselves 'we know we are better than them'.

"Boys can dance if they want to it's not going to affect anyone else.

"And they are just people that are jealous of you."

When asked what they would do with the prize money if they won, they said they wanted to go on a trip to Disneyland but would also give some of the winnings to less fortunate people.

The group stunned viewers at home and the thousands of people in the arena with their stunning performance.

The judges were left equally impressed as they fought back tears.

Amanda Holden admitted the moving audition had "reduced her to tears".

"I thought it was an extraordinary piece and you should feel enormously proud of yourselves because it was beautiful," a teary-eyed Amanda said.

David Walliams agreed: "This was sensational."

Alesha Dixon echoed: "Collectively you were just stunning and I loved everything about it.

"I loved everything about it. You are gorgeous boys and your parents must be so proud.";

Simon Cowell was blown away by the brave performance and said it was the best he had seen all night.

"Wow wow wow wow wow...there was something about you when you walked out and I know this is tough what you told us but I promise you, you stand there now as five strong boys who can say to all those idiots, 'well you can't do what we just did'," the music mogul said.

"For me this was the best audition we've seen all day."

Viewers were left sobbing as they watched the touching performance.

One wrote: "Oh stop it!! They need to win for their song choice alone. #bgt"

Another posted: "Wow this is beautiful, so emotional right now. #bgt"

A third said: "Oh god, this song breaks me. #bgt"

"#BGT I'm in floods of tears right now, no this song I can't," a fourth commented.

Another added: "Really lovely boys, hope they make it to the final, sound a touching audition."

However, some eagle-eyed fans noted schoolboy Joey has already appeared on BBC dance competition The Greatest Dancer.

One wrote: "Wait pretty sure that boy is Joseph that danced with Lily on the greatest dancer!!! Such a stunning dancer that works really well with everyone!"

Another posted: "I remember that Joey kid from The Greatest Dancer," as a third agreed: "One of these boys is Joseph from The Greatest Dancer.

A fourth said: "The Five lads were good, one of those lads was on Britain's Greatest Dancer with Alesha on BBC couple of years back."

Another added: "ITS JOSEPH off the greatest dancer."

All four judges collectively agreed that they deserved a place in the competition.
