Viewers 'loving' Britain's Got Talent as dancer with Down's syndrome 'smashes stereotypes'

Britain's Got Talent fans have been bowled over by a dancer's routine after his dance teacher wrote especially into the show in the hope he would be invited along for an audition. 24-year-old Nathan and his dance teacher, Joanne, from Manchester danced for the judges after Alesha Dixon visited the pair to invite them along to the show.

Viewers saw Alesha surprise Nathan at his dance class and said: "Your lovely teacher Joanne tells me you love to dance." The whole class erupted in cheers while Nathan's mum said: "We're so proud. Children similar to Nathan are given the impression they are incapable. Our son proves otherwise."

Nathan has been dancing with Joanne for three years and thanked his dance partner for getting Alesha to come to the class.
