Dancers AJ Pritchard and Chloe Hewitt

Dancers AJ Pritchard, 18, and Chloe Hewitt, 17, were declared the "best act of the day" by Simon Cowell when they auditioned at the Lowry Theatre in Manchester back in February.

Viewers will this weekend discover if they make it to the stages of the ITV show when judges decide their final shortlist on Sunday evening.

The youngsters hope they will be part of the climax to the programme, which will be screened for four nights starting on Monday.

AJ said performing before Cowell and fellow judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams had already been a fantastic experience.

He added: "Just meeting Ant and Dec was incredible. We were stood talking to them but before we knew it we were on stage in front of the judges with Simon Cowell staring straight at us. I just tried to keep focused and once we began dancing and started doing tricks and lifts the crowd went crazy.

"The feeling was incredible. Amanda said she loved the storyline, David said it was the easiest yes he had ever given and Simon Cowell said we were the best act of the day."

The pair are coached by AJ's dad Adrian at the family's dance academy in Burleydam, near Whitchurch.
