The Ruby Red Performers are anything but ordinary! This vibrant group of 12 women from Withernsea took Britain’s Got Talent by storm with a performance that no one saw coming.
At first, their audition seemed underwhelming. Dressed in old-fashioned costumes, they performed a slow, uninspired dance that failed to impress the judges. Simon Cowell even buzzed them early on. But just when it seemed like their audition was over, the women shocked everyone with a dramatic transformation.
From Modest to Mesmerizing
Midway through their performance, the Ruby Red Performers ditched their conservative outfits and reappeared in elegant silk nightgowns. As I Like the Way You Move by BodyRockers played, their energy surged, and the crowd went wild.
The dance grew bolder with every beat, and layer by layer, garments fell away. By the grand finale, they stood confidently in their undergarments, proudly wearing British flag tassels. What started as an unimpressive routine turned into an electrifying burlesque-style act that had everyone on their feet.
A Viral Sensation
Their audition was an instant hit, captivating both the live audience and viewers at home. The performance quickly gained traction online, amassing an astonishing 16.7 million views on YouTube—making it one of the most-watched dance group auditions in Britain’s Got Talent history.
Comments flooded in from fans who were uplifted by the routine. Messages like “This made me so happy and brightened my day!” poured in, praising the group’s confidence, energy, and empowering spirit.
Judges’ Reactions: From Doubt to Praise
Even Simon Cowell admitted he had judged them too soon. “I pressed my buzzer prematurely,” he confessed.
David Walliams was equally impressed, calling the act “incredibly original and truly entertaining—outstanding.”
Alesha Dixon went on to say, “Ladies, that has made my day. You are empowering women. It was fantastic.”
Despite Cowell’s initial skepticism, the Ruby Red Performers won over all four judges and earned their place in the next round.
A Triumphant Return
Riding on the success of their audition, the Ruby Red Performers returned to the semi-finals with an all-new act. Their journey proved that confidence, fun, and a little bit of surprise can leave a lasting impression—on stage and beyond!
