Mike Woodhams through to the final of Britain’s Got Talent!

Thursday 30th May 2024

Last night, we watched as VSC alumnus Mike Woodhams sang his heart out in the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent, earning himself a place in the final!

Mike wowed the judges with his seamless transitions between impressions of Shirley Bassey, Cher, Take That, Shakira, and Rick Astley! He even snuck in an impression of Amanda Holden, who watched from the panel in shock.

We are overjoyed that Mike made it through to the final, though not all that surprised!

Congratulations, Mike! We will be cheering you on in the live final this Sunday! 

Watch Mike's incredible performance below:
