A LETCHWORTH-based band which appeared on hit TV show Britain’s Got Talent has missed out on a place in the semi-final.

Tonight’s show on ITV saw the last few hopefuls, including Blonde Louis, who perform locally, battle it out in front of judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.

Last Saturday the group had their first audition broadcast on the talent show’s ITV2 spin-off Britain’s Got More Talent, performing their song Dirty.

The group has missed out on the top prize of performing in front of the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance and £250,000.
