Saturday’s episode featured dance act Old Men Grooving, the same performers in the Sainsbury’s Christmas jumper viral. They took the audience and judges by surprise when they danced to a mixture of hip hop tracks.
The Britain’s Got Talent performance received plenty of praise on Twitter, with many fans saying the dance group should win the competition.
The group’s Facebook video for Sainsbury’s, created by Gravity Road, generated one million views in two days. It featured the men wearing Christmas jumpers and performing a choreographed dance routine to Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by Tchaikovsky.
