Britains Got Talent

BRITAIN’S Got Talent star Jeremy Lynch faces a new nerve-racking audition — at a top football club.

The keepy-uppy king has a trial with Charlton Athletic after his soccer skills wowed TV’s Simon Cowell and fellow judges.

The Essex student, 20, will spend a week training with the Championship outfit next month hoping to fulfil his dream of becoming a footballer.

Midfielder Jeremy, who was on Arsenal’s books as a kid, said: “I haven’t given up hope of turning pro.

“When I was let go by the Gunners at 14, I cried. I’ve now got to get into the Premier League another way. But I’m determined I’ll get there.”

Jeremy’s “freestyle football” skills took him all the way to the semi-finals of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent in May.

But he suffered an attack of pre-match jitters and dropped the ball twice.

Viewers still voted the popular rookie in the top three of his heat.

But he narrowly missed out on a place in the final when the judges selected Scottish singer Andrew Muir to go through instead.

The competition was eventually won by street dancer George Sampson.

Cowell told Jeremy: “It’s like forgetting your words twice — but you are a showman and you have star quality.”

Jeremy admitted: “I was devastated I dropped the ball and failed to make the final. But winning a contract with Charlton will more than make up for it.”

Jeremy starred in last year’s movie documentary In The Hands Of The Gods — about five freestylers going in search of legendary player Diego Maradona.


I wish him good luck with his trial, he certainly has a footie talent. :cheer:

Good that something came out from it then :D

The father of Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson was removed from his son's 15th birthday celebrations by bouncers.

Brian Sampson attended the breakdancer's special birthday show at the Chicago Rock Cafe in his home town of Warrington last weekend.

The 40-year-old, who had only seen his son once in the past five years, caused a row at the event by swearing at a member of his ex-wife Lesley's family. He was then escorted out of the venue, but returned later and stood at the back.

"I just wanted to see George on his birthday. I wasn't the one who was going to cause any trouble because it was George's big day," Brian told The People. "But a member of Lesley's family came up to me and I told him to **** off. He then told the bouncers that I was here and explained to them about the split with Lesley and how I wasn't allowed to see George.

"The next thing I was being led out of the venue by three bouncers who told me in no uncertain terms that I was not to cause any trouble. They said it would be better if I stayed away so I was forced to stay and watch at the back. They didn't take their eyes off me throughout the entire time."

Brian split from George's mother Lesley five years ago, but their divorce was only finalised last year.

He added: "It was a shame that I couldn't wish George happy birthday but at least I got to see him, even though I didn't get to meet him. Hopefully I will be able to see him properly soon."

He doesn't see his son for five years but turns up to his 15th bash, not long after George won £100k :hmm: His dad isn't fooling me.

Yeah why hasn't he shown his face for his son's last 5 birthday. Money grabbing slimeball comes to mind.

BRITAIN’S Got Talent champ GEORGE SAMPSON is turning his hand to magic to add to his dance routine.
The wee breakdancer has been trying out tricks in front of family and friends.

He may add some of his new skills to a dance DVD he is filming.

He said: “Dancing is always going to be number one for me but, who knows, when I get too old I could always become the next DAVID COPPERFIELD.”

Well, I’m all for the young scamp learning new tricks but I reckon Bizarre’s favourite magician, DYNAMO, may have something to say about it.

The street magician cornered the market for the body-popping card trick years ago.

George will certainly have to graft some to match him

bless his little cotton socks! he's done ok that little boy:thumbsup:

Awwww Kate and Gin are on Alan Carrs Celebrity Ding Dong!!!! :D:cheer: IO love Kate and Gin! I thoguht they were great! :D
