Wick dancer’s Britain’s Got Talent experience ‘unforgettable’

Maddie Stephens, of Holmes Way, was part of the raunchy burlesque act Crazy Rouge which made it through to the live semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent.

Her group was whittled down from thousands of other acts across the nation to perform in Wednesday’s extravaganza, on ITV1.

Unluckily for the 24-year-old, Crazy Rouge missed out on a place in tomorrow’s final (Saturday, June 5).

However, she said the experience of performing in the show is one she ‘will never forget’.

The former Angmering School student said: “It all just feels so surreal – I can’t put it into words.

“It’s just been such an amazing experience.

“To be on that stage, knowing there are millions of people watching you was crazy. But I think we did the best that we could have done.

“So it’s a shame we didn’t make the final but I’m just so, so proud of how far we did get.”
