DANCE STAR BGT child star is unrecognisable 16 years after reaching the final – and now has kids of his own

   

WITH his dad by his side, this child star shot to fame on Britain's Got Talent and went onto be one of the most iconic acts to take to the stage.

Now all grown up, this star looks unrecognisable 16 years after reaching the BGT final, and even has kids of his A family in their living room; a man is shirtless and dancing while a woman holds a young child.  Another young child watches.

In case you didn't guess, the former child star is Lagi Demetriou, who shot to fame when he was 12-years-old as one half of Stavros Flately in 2009.

The comical dance troupe was made up of him and his dad, Demetrios, who's also known as Demi.

It was aimed at poking fun at Michael Flatley and his famous Riverdance.

Now all grown up, Lagi, 27, is a dad-of-two who runs his own business in Cyprus.

But giving fans a treat, he went back to his dancing roots and shared a hilarious TikTok video where he did Stavros Flatley's famous dance.

To celebrate St Patrick's day he was seen dancing to an Irish jig, with his wife and kids all watching on.

The hilarious video had fans in stitches, with one saying: "Stavros Flatley! This brings back great memories!"

Another added: "This has cracked me up!"

While this one said: "I needed this big smile this morning, thank you!

The act finished third in the 2009 series of the ITV competition, behind dance troop Diversity and singer Susan Boyle.

In 2019, Lagi and Demi returned to the stage for a brief stint on Britain's Got Talent: The Champions before leaving it behind for good.

Lagi now runs a barber shop in Paphos, Cyprus - while Demi reformed Stavros Flatley with his nephew Samson.

In a interview with MailOnline in 2019, Lagi revealed that Simon Cowell had advised him against completely giving up his dance career.

He said the music mogul had suggested he should still perform for special gigs.

He revealed: "When we got to The Champions, I thought this was the right time to leave.

"But Simon Cowell told me not to quit forever. So I will return for some shows."
