Dancers and dance groups have stormed the competition over the years - 14 year old George Sampson became the second Britain's Got Talent winner in 2008, followed by 11-strong street dance troupe Diversity in 2009.

But it looks now as though the fascination with dancers may be fading, with fewer getting through the early stages, and a higher influx of Glee-inspired vocal groups entering the competition.

BGT host Ant McPartlin told The Sun: "There haven't been so many dance troupes as Diversity set the bar so high before. There were a lot of Glee-inspired acts, groups singing and dancing, but not all of them were that great."

Dec Donnelly added: 'There has been a lot of very talented singing children, so that will be a competitive area. The illusionists were great too. We really hope some make the semi-finals.'

We look forward to seeing any dancers or troupes that managed to get through, all the best to them!
