Everyone knows that it’s not a proper series of BGT if a nice FFIIIIXXX! news story doesn’t crop up at one point and this year’s has finally arrived. And not before time..
If The Sun is to be believed*, then the act that has been hand-picked to reach the final and win the competition by Darth Cowell is Lovable Rogues, the popular musical trio who won the semi-final on Tuesday night and were subsequently snapped after scoffing a bit too much whisky at some launch event.
Apparently the group were fast-tracked through the audition process after the show’s talent scouts spotted them on YouTube.
“Yes, we did get approached,â? said one of the band, while another added. âThe audition in front of the judges was the first weâd done.â?
Cowell praised them to the rafters on Tuesday night and it seems he will sign them no matter whether they win the final on Saturday, but a BGT spokesperson refused to be drawn on the situation last night.
âWe let people know about auditions in lots of ways,” they murmured. âAll acts are auditioned on their merits.â?
*Yeah we know..
