With moves straight out of the hit film Saturday Night Fever, you could be forgiven for mistaking Trevor Blackman for Tony Manero.

For it was his prowess on the dancefloor and slick disco moves that caught the eye of the judges on the hit ITV show Britain's Got Talent.

Worthing's Disco Trev impressed the trio of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan enough to make it through the initial stages of the Saturday night TV show.

Trevor, 47, has been impressing audiences with his shaking hips and hands since disco's heyday era and won several medals for popping his moves back in the day.

He said: “I started in the late 1970s, then I started doing talent shows and I've performed at weddings since 2000.

“Sometimes people laugh but the majority love it – especially when I do weddings and you get the whole audience up and dancing.

“It was good fun, I enjoyed doing it. I applied on the internet last year had a reply in November to go to London. I went for that and the producers and the directors filmed me.

“Then I got another reply to go up to the Apollo Hammersmith and that was in front of the judges and that went really well.

“I did have a little bit of stage fright when I went behind the stage, but it was all right once I got started.

“Simon Cowell turned round and said, 'What was that supposed to be?'

“I replied to him that it was a dance routine and the whole audience laughed. Amanda Holden liked it and Piers buzzed me but he changed his mind and then I got through to the next round.”

However it was not to be as Trevor made it through to the final 200 contestants before being unceremoniously booted off the show by the judges.

Trevor's appearance on the show is due to be screened in the coming weeks but despite his obvious disappointment at not getting the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance, he is not bitter.

He added: “Getting down to the last 200 was pretty good and I really enjoyed it.”
