When the Ruby Red Performers stepped onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage during Series 9, no one knew what to expect. Dressed as ordinary washerwomen in headscarves and aprons, they looked more ready for laundry day than a high-energy dance audition.
But in a matter of seconds, they transformed the room.
The music changed, the outer layers came off, and what followed was one of the most surprising and joy-filled routines the show has ever seen. To BodyRockers’ “I Like the Way You Move,” these fierce, fabulous women delivered a cheeky, confident, and downright fun burlesque-inspired dance that had the entire audience on their feet.
Even Simon Cowell, who buzzed early, admitted he was completely wrong. Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden couldn’t stop smiling, and David Walliams said it was one of the most entertaining acts of the night.
A Viral Sensation with 17 Million Views
It’s been more than 4 years since their performance went live on YouTube—and the clip has now racked up over 17 million views. That’s no small feat for any dance group, let alone one made up of women ranging from 25 to 64 years old, performing with zero fear and tons of heart.
Fans around the world continue to share and comment on the video, saying things like:
- “I didn’t expect to smile this hard!”
- “This is what real confidence looks like.”
- “They totally made my day.”
It’s not just about dancing—it’s about defying expectations, having fun, and proving that talent, confidence, and joy have no age limit.
What They’re Doing Now (2025)
The Ruby Red Performers didn’t just fade into BGT history. In 2025, they reunited to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their unforgettable audition. Based in Withernsea, East Yorkshire, the group is now opening auditions for new members—inviting women over 18 from all backgrounds to join in their body-positive, confidence-boosting performances.
They continue to perform in local theatres, festivals, and charity events, showing that fun, fabulousness, and a little sparkle never go out of style.
Their story is more than just a one-off TV moment—it’s become a celebration of being proud, playful, and completely yourself, no matter what anyone thinks.
Many Years Ago—Still Giving Joy
Even though the cameras were rolling years ago, the magic of that moment lives on. The clip may be labeled “4 years ago,” but the energy, fun, and positivity still feel fresh every time someone new discovers it.
This wasn’t just a dance act. It was a moment of celebration—for every woman who’s been told she’s “too old” or “not the right shape” to shine on a big stage.
And that’s why people keep watching.
