Ghanaian dance duo Afronita and Abigail placed third after a gruelling finale of the 2024 Britain’s Got Talent show.
The duo, with their great dance moves and amazing story, have wowed the world throughout the competition, raising high the flag of Ghana and Africa on the global platform.
At the finals on Sunday, June 2, they put up an electrifying performance in bright Ghanaian colours coming up in the top three out of the ten finalists.
However, they came third, which is still a significant feat for the Africans on that global stage.
The two young Ghanaians have received massive support from Ghanaians both at home and abroad.
The 10 finalists included a choir, a magician, and a Japanese skipping group.
But Sydnie Christmas took the top prize, ahead of Jack Rhodes in second and dancers Abigail and Afronita in third.
The judges of the ITV show, Simon Cowell, Bruno Tonioli, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden, returned for one last time this series, alongside hosts Ant and Dec.
The winner of the 17th series of BGT receives a cash prize of £250,000 and the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
Public votes were open during the live show, with viewers at home encouraged to have their say.
Singer Christmas burst into tears after she was announced as the winner of 2024 Britain’s Got Talent show.
She said: “I don’t know what to say, I cannot believe the amount of love that I’ve felt.
