On Monday night Britain's Got Talent viewers sent comedian Lost Voice Guy through to the live finals this weekend, after he impressed the judges and audience with his jokes, however just a couple of days later, he has revealed some nasty injuries he sustained after falling over.
Lost Voice Guy, real name Lee Ridley, took to Twitter to post a photo of himself posing with his thumbs up and a few scratches and scrapes on his face, along with a plaster on his nose. Always the comedian he captioned the photo, 'This is why Lost Balance Guy never made it onto #BGT. Don’t worry though, it was only a trip. I’ll be match fit for the final on Sunday! @BGT'.
Following Lee's post, fans flocked to Twitter to leave comments ranging from those caring about his well-being, to those suggesting he makes his trip part of his routine during the live final.
One fan tweeted, 'Turn it into a joke... tell them disability payments have been stopped so you thought you would try a where there is blame there is a claim on Simon and the BGT Team 😂'.
Whilst another fan said, 'Glad you can still smile. I expect your find a joke about your fall. As your that kind of guy who laughs at most situations. I thank you for that as it helps others to look on the bright side of life. Take care x'. sic
Get well soon Lee!
Lost Voice Guy is a 37-year-old comedian who lives in Newcastle and has cerebral palsy after he fell ill as a baby which left him unable to speak. Using a ‘text-to-speech’ app on his iPad his routine often centres around his disability. He first attracted the attention of the judges in the audition rounds and after appearing on the show, a video of his performance soon received millions of views on YouTube.
Meanwhile since Monday night, which saw Lost Voice Guy and D-Day Darlings get sent through to the final, we've seen four other acts go through from their semi-finals including Donchez Dacres, Calum Courtney, Robert White and Gruffydd Wyn.
