An Isle of Wight contestant featured on ITV hit show Britain’s Got Talent last night (Saturday, April 19).<\/p>\n
Baron Fortitude, the Victorian rapper alter-ego of Luc Valvona, auditioned on the show, with his performance shown on yesterday evening’s episode.<\/p>\n
Luc is from the Island, regularly performing at Ballyrags Comedy Club.<\/p>\n
He has made appearances at the Ventnor Fringe and Isle of Wight Festival and founded the IW School of Comedy.<\/p>\n

He performed a song about the ideal way to make a cup of tea, but unfortunately felt the wrath of the judge’s buzzers, with Simon Cowell, KSI and Alesha Dixon all pressing their red buttons.<\/p>\n
Sadly, Baron Fortitude did not advance to the next round, his song failing to impress the judges.<\/p>\n
Alesha Dixon even quipped that the song was not her cup of tea.<\/p>\n
Britain’s Got Talent is not the first time Luc has featured on TV as Baron Fortitude.<\/p>\n
He made an appearance in Channel 5’s Isle of Wight: Jewel of the South.<\/p>\n
The four-part TV series, which aired in 2023, spotlighted different people and aspects of the Island.<\/p>\n
The show featured Island entertainer Derek Sandy, and Helen Butler on her quest to save the Island’s red squirrels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Isle of Wight contestant featured on ITV hit show Britain’s Got Talent last night (Saturday, April 19).…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35974,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5018,3,4],"tags":[17162,20734,748,709,393,4884,20733,20731,20732,1144,712,17947,16,15,20735,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-35973","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-britain","8":"category-uk","9":"category-united-kingdom","10":"tag-alesha-dixon","11":"tag-baron-fortitude","12":"tag-britain","13":"tag-britains-got-talent","14":"tag-england","15":"tag-great-britain","16":"tag-isle-of-wight","17":"tag-isle-of-wight-festival","18":"tag-luc-valvona","19":"tag-northern-ireland","20":"tag-scotland","21":"tag-show","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom","24":"tag-ventnor-fringe","25":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114371140352087141","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35973\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
