He's also been a presenter on BBC Radio Newcastle for years, and does the Breakfast show each weekday. I always thought BGT was supposed to be for amateurs, not people with an already fairly high profile (in the North East, at least), and arguably already a local 'celebrity'.

I've always said, if an impressionist needs to tell you who they are doing beforehand, then they must need to. Wasn't that impressed, to be honest, and don't see how their act can progress/improve much for the next round.
