Setting a Guinness World record and finishing runners up in the UK's biggest talent contest would be enough for most.

That's not the case for street dancing duo, Twist & Pulse, this year's performers at the Dartford Christmas lights switch on.

It's been nine years since Ashley Glazebrook and Glen Murphy first captivated audiences on the fourth series of Britain's Got Talent with their body bopping routines, finishing second in the competition.

Now they have gone one better, winning The Champions edition of the show.

They were pitted against the winners and iconic acts from the last 13 years BGT.

The Brit school graduates received a standing ovation as they were crowned overall winners, receiving a 'golden buzzer' from celebrity judge and dancer, Alesha Dixon along the way.

They said: "It has been absolutely mental."

"We've been busy performing all over the country. It is really full on.

"We've grown and changed a lot in the time since we first appeared on the show. We have a lot of new ideas."

These new dance moves will be on display next month when the pair join Dartford mayor Cllr Roger Perfitt (Con) for town's big lights switch-on.

"We are going to put on a show incorporating all the best bits of the live [BGT] performances," they said.

"It's going to be a mash up of everything."

Despite the shortness of the routine - one and a half minutes in total - they said they were most looking forward to engaging with the crowd and wanted "to make sure the audience feel part of it

Twist and Pulse will be performing in Dartford on Saturday, November 16 as part of the Christmas lights switch-on.

Their tour kicks off in February next year with a date at the London Shaw Theatre on February 20.
