The stage of “Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions” was set ablaze when the iconic duo, Stavros Flatley, made their return.
This father-son pair, renowned for their humorous Greek-inspired dance routines, had previously captured hearts with their belly-baring performances.
A decade had passed since their first appearance, but their charm remained undiminished.
Rewinding to 2009, Demi Demetriou and his then 12-year-old son, Lagi, initially presented themselves to the judges in everyday attire.
But, in a twist that left the audience in stitches, they soon re-emerged.
Demi, donning a blonde wig, headband, and sans shirt, hilariously impersonated a Greek rendition of the legendary river dancer, Michael Flatley.
The comedy was amplified when Lagi, mirroring his father’s get-up, joined him center stage.
Fast forward to their performance on “Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions”, the duo’s act commenced with a flute player serenading the audience from the auditorium’s center.
This was soon followed by Celtic dancers illuminating the stage with their graceful moves.
But the real show-stopper was yet to come.
Bursting onto the stage in his signature Greek attire, complete with an exposed belly, Demi had the audience erupting in cheers with his river dancing prowess.
But just as the applause reached its peak, he struck a dramatic pose, signaling the entrance of his partner-in-crime.
Lagi, no longer the young boy from their initial performance but a grown man, made his grand entrance.
Their act was a spectacle to behold, complete with pyrotechnics, drummers, and dancing ladies.
Yet, amidst it all, it was the comedic genius of Stavros Flatley that truly stole the show.
True to their style, they concluded their act with a flourish, flinging their wigs directly at the judges.
A breathless Demi then took a moment to address the audience, expressing his gratitude.
“I can’t tell you how much you going mad for us makes us feel. But I want to say this show is amazing.”
“We’ve been all over the world, we’ve done things and been places we never thought we’d be – and it’s ’cause of you guys.”
His heartfelt words also included a touching tribute to his son, Lagi, culminating in a warm embrace between the two.
While the duo expressed their appreciation for the myriad opportunities “Britain’s Got Talent” had afforded them, Simon Cowell had a surprise up his sleeve.
“Look, I’ve wanted to say this to you for years. I’ve really wanted to thank both of you for everything you’ve done.
I want to be able to thank you and there’s one way I can do this.”
In a move that left everyone astounded, Simon pressed the Golden Buzzer, the highest accolade on the show, propelling the contestants directly to the final rounds.
The room was awash with jubilation, the reactions priceless.
Stavros Flatley’s performance was not just a dance routine; it was a testament to their enduring charm, comedic timing, and the special bond between a father and son.
Their act was a reminder of the joy and laughter they bring to audiences worldwide.
Their unique blend of humor, dance, and heart ensures it’s a performance that will be cherished for years to come.
