A pantomime dame from Nottingham has wowed Britain's Got Talent judges in the current series receiving a total of four yes votes. Marc Kelly has been performing as Dame Dottie for ten years before appearing on the ITV show on Saturday, May 14.
The idea to enter the show came during the pandemic as many panto performances were cancelled due to Covid restrictions. Marc, who is originally from Beeston, joined a group of panto performers who call themselves, Dame Nation. The group performed a mash-up of Gloria Gaynor's 'I will survive' and The Weather Girls, 'It's raining men.'
"We decided to enter as a team called Dame Nation. after coming up with the idea during the pandemic. Our Facebook group formed because all of the pantos had been called and it was something to help it keep going. While we were chatting, we thought it would be a good idea to apply for Britain's Got Talent," he said.
