Stavros Flatley

When father and son act Stavros Flatley ran on stage at the Hammersmith Apollo for the Britain’s Got Talent auditions, nobody could predict what was to come. They became an overnight sensation, and were many people’s favourite to win the show.

It all started when Demetri owned a Greek restaurant in North London. The food was notoriously bad, but the cabaret performances were legendary! It was at the restaurant that Demetri developed the Stavros Flatley character.

At the auditions they wowed the judges, Simon Cowell admitting they were one of his ‘favourite ever dance acts’. Turning in hilarious, infectious performances of Cry of The Celts, Lord of The Dance, and Zorba The Greek, they went on reach the final, with Amanda Holden admitting they were her personal favourites.

The future is incredibly bright for Stavros Flatley. Since the show, they have been performing all over the country, and will be visiting Cyprus, Greece, Australia and China this year.
