Britain's Got Talent's Alesha Dixon was left visibly moved by a theatre company called Chickenshed during the episode that aired on Saturday, April 22. The act, which was made up of performers aged five to 37, made such an impression on the judge she was left in tears as she sent them straight through to the live semi-final.
The theatre company were labelled "pure joy" by presenters Ant and Dec as they performed a singing and dancing routine to Wonder by Naughty Boy ft. Emeli Sandé and got a standing ovation from the panel and studio audience. Introducing the act, the company said: "Chickenshed is so many different things for so many different people, we are all about if you have a passion for theatre and you love theatre then you're welcome.
"We're an inclusive company, we don't audition, that's why there's so many of us and we celebrate our differences and we love that, that's what makes us, us. We've been going for 50 years now, but there's still so many changes to make, it's about celebrating our young people."
