A Dorset dancer says it's a dream come true to be through to the live shows for Britain's Got Talent.

Teddy Holton-Frances from Bournemouth is a member of Phoenix Boys.

BGT judge Bruno Tonioli was so impressed with the dance group on Saturday night's show, he hit the golden buzzer and broke it!

Teddy said: “Receiving the Golden Buzzer was a dream come true. It made me jump it was so loud! I just couldn’t believe it. I still can’t believe it happened!”

Teddy trains at Pure Drama Theatre School and Prompt Corner Academy of Dance and attends Avonwood Primary School.

They're now set to perform during the live semi-finals at the end of May.
