'Got Talent' Finalists For Odyssey
Britain's Got Talent finalists - possibly including hospitalised second placed contender, Susan Boyle - are to appear in Belfast next month.
The nationwide live tour stops off at the Odyssey Arena on July 1.
The ITV reality show - which took the nation by storm in recent months - was eventually won by street dancing group, Diversity (pictured) who come from Essex.
The three sets of brothers won the competition courtesy of the votes of the British public just beating the pre-final favourite, Susan Boyle.
She gained second place in the reality show, but is tipped to earn millions having earned the adulation of American audiences in particular.
The 48-year-old became known when she sang "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Misérables in the competition's first round.
However, her participation in the tour - and her trip to Northern Ireland - depend on her medical condition.
She is currently recovering from 'exhaustion' in a private clinic in London following persistent media attention.
Diversity and Boyle will be joined on the UK tour by all eight other finalists including, Julian Smith, Shaheen Jafargholi, Aidan Davis, Stavros Flatley, Hollie Steel, Shaun Smith, Flawless and 2 Grand. Last years winner George Sampson will also be performing.
The arena tour, which will travel across the UK, will be hosted by ITV2's Britain's Got More Talent presenter Stephen Mulhern.
Tickets for the live show went on sale on Wednesday.
