Kingston has rocked Britain’s Got Talent with two acts storming through to the live semi-finals.

Teenage friends who rapped about their late grandads joined cirque act Enchantment when they were voted through to the next round by judges David Hasselhoff, Michael Macintyre and Amanda Holden.

Both acts impressed the audience in their first performances on stage and when they returned to the screens on Sunday, May 21, they were waved straight through to the live shows.

Enchantment dancer Caroline Wynne, 27, from Surbiton, said their first performance was “incredible” and said she would not have had the courage to do it without fellow members.

Her group, which consists of acrobats, opera singers, dancer, aerialists, skaters and rhythmic gymnasts, opened the show on Tuesday, May 31.

Best friends Jamie Herring, 14, of Southborough School, and George Emery, 13, from Chessington Community College, are now hoping to impress again in the live semi-final on Friday, June 3.

They formed their act Follow the Right Path after they met playing football, and use the studio at Barnfield Youth Club, Kingston, to try out new songs.

Jamie’s mum Linda, from Kingston Vale, said: “I was so nervous watching them on TV, my nerves were so bad and my husband said he couldn’t even watch it.”

Her son rapped about a man he knew as Grandad John, who died last year aged 100, and George rapped about his grandad who died three years ago.

Mrs Herring, 50, worked for him for more than 20 years and said he grew incredibly close to her son.

She said: “Jamie loved him so much. He was with him every day.

“I was stunned when they went through, I just couldn’t believe it, it was so fantastic.”

Last year’s winner Spelbound also performed on Sunday’s show - three winners of which were from Surbiton High School
