It’s not every day you see two TV hosts literally run onto the stage, but then again, it’s not every day you see a act like Boyband.
In 2015, five young dancers walked onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage without a lot of flash. They stretched. They warmed up. They looked like any other dance crew waiting for the music to start.
Then “Uptown Funk” kicked in—and the room exploded.
What followed wasn’t just a dance routine. It was a declaration. Flips so clean they looked effortless. Synchronized moves sharper than a tailor’s pin. A energy so high you could feel it in the cheap seats.
When Presenters Couldn’t Hold Back — Running In and Pushing the Golden Buzzer!
By the final beat, the audience was roaring, the judges were on their feet, and Ant & Dec were already sprinting toward the Golden Buzzer—something the hosts had never done before. Confetti rained down. The boys stood there, breathless and beaming, their lives changed in under three minutes.
So… Did They Win?
Not exactly. But they came close.
After sailing through the semis, Boyband narrowly missed the public vote—but the judges believed in them enough to hand them a wildcard into the Grand Final. Though they finished in 12th place, winning wasn’t really the point. Making history was.
Where Are They Now?
The group may have disbanded, but their talent didn’t skip a beat:
- Dylan Mayoral built a global dance career, launched his own training program, and formed a new crew called Wonderkids.
- Jaih Betote landed a role in the 2019 Cats film and now performs and teaches worldwide.
- Mike McNeish joined the iconic dance troupe Flawless and tours internationally.
- Mikey Ureta moved into choreography and branding, working with names like Reebok.
- Corey Culverwell stepped back from performing, choosing a life outside the spotlight.
More Than Moves
Their journey wasn’t all confetti and cheers. Some minor controversies surfaced—old tweets, a prior appearance on Got to Dance—but the guys handled it with grace. “We didn’t deceive anyone… talent is talent,” they said. And they were right.
Behind the scenes, they’d worked through creative differences and built trust the hard way. What we saw on stage wasn’t just choreography—it was brotherhood.
Why We Still Remember Them
Boyband proved you don’t need a trophy to leave a legacy. Their Golden Buzzer moment remains one of the most electric in BGT history—a perfect storm of skill, surprise, and pure joy.
They reminded us that some acts aren’t just about winning. They’re about making you feel something. And years later? We’re still feeling it.
