After their last performance, the stern judge famously said: "I've got to tell you right now, all bets are off. It was the only performance of the night I'd give a ten to."

What has Perri Kiely done since winning Britain's Got Talent?

Later in 2014, the Diversity star competed on a celebrity version of Release the Hounds, and his team won an incredible £12,000. They donated the funds to two charities, Beatbullying and the NSPCC.

The last time Perri was linked to someone was in 2018, when he was seen out and about with Love Island contestant Amber Davies. However, during an interview in 2019, Perri revealed that he had spent Valentine's Day alone at home with his two cats and beloved dog Barry, so the pair seemed to have cooled things off.
When he took part in 2017's Celebs Go Dating, Perri opened up about his approach to romance, and told viewers that the subject often made him uncomfortable. The talented dancer explained: "People don't go for people like me. When Diversity won Britain's Got Talent I was really young, and in people's heads I'm trapped in that bubble."
