A BOY from Kendal who performed on Britain's Got Talent alongside his dance group have missed out on a place in the finals, despite moving the judges to tears.

Archie Quinn-Sunter from Kendal, is a proud member of dance company Phoenix Boys and wowed in their semi-final performance.

The group were placed in the top three, and it was left up to the judges to decide who made it through to the finals. The judges were at a deadlock with each act receiving two votes from the judges. The vote then went to the public vote and the boys lost out to choir group, Northants.

Despite not making it to the finals, the group group impressed as they performed a moving dance piece to Sam Ryder's, 'You're the voice', dressed in all-white. with the background saying "You're the Voice" and "We are the voices of the future".

The boys received a standing ovation from the judges, with Bruno looking visibly moved and their supporters dressed in the dance troops T-Shirts.

Bruno Tonioli said: "What can I say I felt like I was in heaven surrounded by angels. That was so beautiful and inspiring. The choreography was superb, your choreographer did a fantastic job. I am so proud of you. I am speechless, brilliant...brilliant."

Alesha Dixon said: "It was so poetic you covered the space so well, I tried to look at every single one of you. I could really feel your passion and you have done yourselves proud, you've done Bruno proud."

Amanda Holden said: "For me it was about the message and the beauty of the entire dance... I could feel how much it meant to you."

Simon Cowell said: "I am unbelievably proud of all of you. I was saying to Bruno and Ant and Dec with an audience, you can't fake a reaction, when something is good you know it, and that was just powerful, it was joyous.

"And let me tell you something, what you do is so much better than sitting in your bedroom playing stupid video games. This was a big big step up from your audition and every one of you, like i said, should be really really feeling proud of yourselves.."

The groups when asked by Ant and Dec explained what went into the dance, they said: "Blood, sweat, tears to be honest. It sounds cliché, but this isn't something you see everyday, we are people from all over the shop, everywhere, and this is something we love, we love this, we want you to know that."

The group, which includes members from all over the UK, was jumping for joy after dance legend Bruno Tonioli hit the golden buzzer so hard that he smashed it in their first performance which gave them a straight ticket to the semi finals.

After his first performance in the auditions with the group, Archie said: "It was such a surreal moment even being on the stage.

"A moment I had always dreamed of but never thought would happen.

"I was confused, happy and shocked that Bruno pressed the golden buzzer for us. It was the best feeling in the world.

"I never thought it would happen to us. Bruno understands it’s not always easy being a male dancer, but he gets it…he gets us and we are so excited for the next round."
