Jonathan Antoine, Charlotte Jaconelli still overwhelmed by Britain's Got Talent reaction

Britain's Got Talent - Jonathan and Charlotte

Britain’s Got Talent 2012 favourites Jonathan and Charlotte have revealed that they’re still overwhelmed by the reaction to their audition.

The singing duo appeared in the first episode of the series, and remains the favourites to win in next weekend’s final.

Recalling their audition this week, Jonathan Antoine said: “I expected people to be relatively shocked but nothing like that. I can’t really put it into words, it was just incredible.”

Charlotte Jaconelli added: “People have said we sound really good together, but we’ve never had 3000 people giving us a standing ovation! Simon said we should split up, but we entered the show as a duo and this is what we want.”

She revealed: “It’s absolutely crazy. People from America and South East Asia are tweeting me. I think our mums are our biggest fans though!”

And it seems that Jonathan’s distinctive look has been getting him plenty of attention from BGT fans.

He tells TV Times this week: “Lots of people have noticed us on the street and asked us for photographs. It’s very nice but it’s an alien concept for me.”

The Britain’s Got Talent 2012 live shows start on Sunday at 8PM on ITV1.
