According to Metro , Toni stepped onto the stage in a bathrobe. He shared that he came to England to pursue his dream of performing for the royal family.
The atmosphere in the studio began to change when Toni took off her bathrobe. Judge Bruno Tonioli exclaimed: “No, no, no”, while Alesha Dixon held up a sheet of paper in front of her.
Toni reassured everyone by pointing at her peach-patterned pink underwear and showing that she was still wearing pants. “But I can be naked,” he added.
Alesha shook her head with a panicked expression, advising the male contestant not to do that. However, Toni started to publish the first “naked pose”.
After a quick beat, Toni stands motionless on stage, his left leg raised in front of him as if he’s kicking a ball, hiding his underwear and giving the illusion that he’s actually wearing nothing.
At this time, the atmosphere of apprehension was replaced by laughter and clapping.
After that, Toni continued with other poses such as horse racing and James Bond shooting before finishing with a Spice Girls pose. Completing each pose, he said, “Don’t worry, I’m still wearing pants.”
The performance received a standing ovation from the judges and audience in the London Palladium Theater (UK).
“You are my favorite contestant on the show so far,” Alesha expressed delight.
“Toni, you are completely unique and that feeling is really Britain’s Got Talent . I love it,” said Amanda Holden.
Simon Cowell seemed to be the one most impressed by the performance. He praised Toni as the funniest contestant the show had of the year.
Making fun of both the judges and the audience, Toni received 4 yeses and entered the next round.
Not only those present at the studio, the television audience was equally excited.
Many positive comments for Asian men were left on Twitter: “Toni on Britain’s Got Talent excellent. I laughed from beginning to end”, “I was forced to watch the show and now I just want to say get Toni in front of the king”, “I have never seen a comedy before that does that. . Great moves. Excellent and funny”, “Don’t worry, I’m wearing underwear Britain’s Got Talent is the funniest thing I’ve seen this year”, “Is someone trying to pose naked in the living room?”…
