Life after Britain's Got Talent

3rd runner up Dance Master UK Dean Wilson

Britain's Got Talent semi finalist Dean Wilson from Middlesborough, got more than he bargained for when he qualified to take part in the IDTA Dance Master UK 2008 Grand Final.

Girls flocked to get Deans autograph

After performing his Britain's Got Talent routine in the Grand final at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool this weekend, Dean stepped out by the stage door and was mobbed by a group of fans who asked for his autograph and waited patiently to have their photo taken with him, including my daughter Alyssa.

Bemused Dean said " I don't know why, but they are treating me like I am a celebrity".

'Making the most of getting your pics and autograph before your famous Dean. Enjoy!

The girls where ecstatic just having their pics taken with you, thank you for taking time out to sign autographs and patiently stand with the girls to take their pics, no doubt they will have shown all their friends on their return to school.

fans galore queue for photos with Dean Wilson

Big Thanks for making my girls day xx
