Lost Voice Guy reveals nasty injuries after fall ahead of the BGT final
He said he will still perform
On Monday night Britain's Got Talent viewers sent comedian Lost Voice Guy through to the live finals this weekend, after he impressed the judges and audience with his jokes, however just a couple of days later, he has revealed some nasty injuries he sustained after falling over.
Lost Voice Guy, real name Lee Ridley, took to Twitter to post a photo of himself posing with his thumbs up and a few scratches and scrapes on his face, along with a plaster on his nose. Always the comedian he captioned the photo, 'This is why Lost Balance Guy never made it onto #BGT. Don’t worry though, it was only a trip. I’ll be match fit for the final on Sunday! @BGT'.
Following Lee's post, fans flocked to Twitter to leave comments ranging from those caring about his well-being, to those suggesting he makes his trip part of his routine during the live final.
One fan tweeted, 'Turn it into a joke... tell them disability payments have been stopped so you thought you would try a where there is blame there is a claim on Simon and the BGT Team 😂'.
Whilst another fan said, 'Glad you can still smile. I expect your find a joke about your fall. As your that kind of guy who laughs at most situations. I thank you for that as it helps others to look on the bright side of life. Take care x'. sic
Get well soon Lee!
Lost Voice Guy is a 37-year-old comedian who lives in Newcastle and has cerebral palsy after he fell ill as a baby which left him unable to speak. Using a ‘text-to-speech’ app on his iPad his routine often centres around his disability. He first attracted the attention of the judges in the audition rounds and after appearing on the show, a video of his performance soon received millions of views on YouTube.
Meanwhile since Monday night, which saw Lost Voice Guy and D-Day Darlings get sent through to the final, we've seen four other acts go through from their semi-finals including Donchez Dacres, Calum Courtney, Robert White and Gruffydd Wyn.
Last night (30th May) we saw Birmingham-based dance act AcroCadabra perform in the semi-finals. In a major blunder the dance group gained an 'extra member' when a stunned crew member found himself on stage, with his head clearly in view behind a glass box as they started their routine. Oops! Sadly for AcroCadabra they didn't get through to the final.
