A TALENTED Michael Jackson impersonator is licking his wounds this morning (Sunday) after losing the final of ITV1 show, Britain's Got Talent.
Trainee solicitor, Suleman Mirza, and dance partner, Madhu Singh, wowed the audience, and the judges with their dazzling mix of classic Jackson and Bhangra dancing last night, during the Royal Variety Performance.
The pair, who have been performing as signature for several years, were one step away from winning the contest in front of Prince Charles, but were pipped to the post by breakdancing teenager, George Sampson, who took the £100,000 prize.
Mr Mirza, 29, of Eton Road, Ilford, began dancing like Michael Jackson as a child after seeing him perform his legendary 'Moonwalk' routine on TV - and says he is proud to have emulated his idol during the contest.
Mr Mirza now plans to take a well earned rest before hitting the boards as the King of Pop again.
