BRITAIN's Got Talent winners Diversity have been nominated for a South Bank Show Award.

The 11 member dance troupe, which includes 21-year-old member Ike Ezekwugo from Leytonstone, are among the nominees in the dance category, which also include ballets E=mc2 by David Bintley and Wayne McGregor's Limen.

The group, which won the ITV1 reality show last May, will attend the awards ceremony at the Dorchester Hotel in London on January 26. The event will be screened on ITV1 on January 31.

Carey Mulligan is a nominee in the Times Breakthrough Award category for her role in the film An Education, which was partly shot in Walthamstow.

This year's event will be the last ever South Bank Show Awards as presenter Melvyn Bragg is leaving the programme.
