A boy is taking to the stage with fellow members of his dance troop in the semi-final of Britain's Got Talent.

Ten-year-old Ben Winchcombe is set to perform as part of Diversity Juniors Dance (DVJ) tomorrow night.

The troop describes itself as the next generation of dancers mentored by Ashley Banjo, who lead Diversity in 2009 when they won the televised competition.

The Allington Primary pupil from Maidstone and his group have so far impressed judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and David Walliams, being chosen as one of the 40 remaining acts - down from 182.

"I'm really excited for it and also quite nervous," said Ben.

"My friends at school really support me when I dance and they are really looking forward to watching me on Thursday.

When they perform, DVJ will be vying for the for the audience vote in the hope of going forward in the competition.

If and his team make it to the top spot they will be awarded with the honour of showing off their skills for members of the royal family at Royal Variety Performance in November.

To watch Ben and DVJ compete, tune in to ITV from 7.30pm.
