Britain's Got Talent will feature some familiar faces this week.

Sylk Dance coaches Lewis Tigran and Harry Barnes have made it through to Saturday's live semi-final.

Lewis regularly visits the studio on Brook Street to teach workshops and private lessons while Harry is a well-known 'popper' in the street dance community.

Amy Myers, principal at Sylk Dance, said: "We are so excited for Lewis and Harry to have this amazing opportunity to showcase their talent and inspire the next generation of Street Dancers!

"We find that often people don't understand what street dance is or the different genres within it and its great for Lewis and Harry to give exposure of the style so that young people can see firsthand what is achievable if they start attending dance lessons."

Amy continued: "Lewis has been a friend and regular teacher at Sylk Dance for around three years now.

"He is a firm favourite with our students with his unique style of popping, waving and tutting as well as his warm personality.

"My son Oscar is a massive fan of Lewis and has regular 1-2-1 sessions to train for his solos and duo routines at competitions, which has helped him achieve a first place at the British Championships!" 

Harry and Lewis will appear on the third live semi-final of Britain's Got Talent this Saturday (May 10).

It airs at 7pm on ITV1, ITVX and STV.
