Britain's Got Talent star looks unrecognisable 7 years after reaching semi-finals

Lexie-May, who appeared on Britain's Got Talent in 2018 with dance partner Christopher, now looks completely different since her time on the ITV show

Years after showcasing their talents on Britain's Got Talent, Lexie-May, who graced the ITV show in 2018 with her dance partner Christopher, is almost unrecognisable from her time on the programme.

Back in 2018, a then 10-year-old Lexie-May auditioned for the show alongside Christopher. The young duo performed in front of the judging panel, which included Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, David Walliams, and Alesha Dixon.


Hailing from Manchester, Lexie-May and Christopher captivated the audience with a charming ballroom dance to Meghan Trainor's Dear Future Husband, earning themselves an impressive standing ovation.


Their performance was strong enough to advance them through to the semi-finals that season.

Viewers might recall the delightful exchange between the judges and the pair, in which Lexie-May revealed that they met "on a website", much to the amusement of the judges and the audience alike.

During the exchange, when prompted by David about how their partnership came to be, Lexie-May explained: "Well, there's a website...," prompting giggles amongst those watching.

When Simon probed further asking, "Really?" Lexie-May clarified: "If you're both in the same category, you're a match. So, obviously we're a match."

The banter continued as David queried Christopher whether Lexie-May took the lead in their team. Christopher humorously responded: "Well, she thinks she is!" eliciting another wave of laughter from the spectators.


In a touching moment, Lexie-May also adorably referred to Christopher as her "future husband" before the duo went on to impress all four judges with their routine, reports Belfast Live.

Though Lexie-May and Christopher reached the semi-finals on BGT, their journey ended there, with Lost Voice Guy ultimately claiming victory in the ITV talent contest.

Lexie-May, now 17, continues to dance and frequently participates in competitions nationwide. However, it seems she has traded Christopher for a new dance partner, Dylan.

Photos on her Instagram account show Lexie-May and Dylan holding trophies and competing together in various contests, suggesting a successful partnership on the dance floor.

Earlier this year, the pair clinched the title at the Dance Promoters Association Team Match, representing Team North. Over the past year, they have also triumphed in both ballroom and Latin competitions.

Christopher's activities since his BGT appearance remain uncertain, but according to Lexie-May's Instagram, the two were still dancing together as recently as 2021.

Britain's Got Talent airs on Saturdays on ITV1 at 7pm
