Picture special: Burnley's own Britain's Got Talent semi finalist wows diners at charity fundraising gala dinner

Burnley's very own Britain's Got Talent semi finalist was on home turf for a concert in his honour to raise funds for a children's hospice.

Andrew Derbyshire, who was a finalist on the TV reality show in 2014, had guests on their feet singing and dancing at the dinner held at Burnley’s Penny Black bar.

Hosted and organised by Alex Hind of Beyond the Fence, guests enjoyed a five course dinner and there was a raffle and auction to raise funds for Derian House children’s hospice.

Andrew shared the stage with his talented sister, Jodie Forrest and her daughter, Jolie (14) and he was happy to share the limelight.

Padiham born Andrew found fame when he made it to the top 50 of Pop Idol, one of the TV's first reality talent shows back in 2001.
