"I’m so excited to perform again in front of the judges and I would absolutely love to make the finals with my amazing team and hopefully perform at the Royal Variety Show.
"It’s like a dream at the moment."

Daisy-Leigh's mum, Emma, said: "I am just bursting with pride for Daisy and her team and Dane. It’s just wonderful to reach this stage of the process after all the hard work they have put into it.
"Daisy is an unbelievably hard worker and I can’t even describe how proud I feel."
To enter the talent show, Dane had to submit a first round video submission, before the group performed in front of the judges on January 16, receiving four yes's.
"And it’s been a waiting game since then to find out if they'd made the semi finals!" added Emma.
