Britain’s Got Talent calls on royal wedding bishop

- By Hannah Furness

THE American bishop who stole the show at the royal wedding with an impressive address opened last night’s final of Britain’s Got Talent with a special blessing.

Rev Michael Curry, whose lively sermon about the power of love – praised by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, as “Raw God” – at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, appeared on the ITV show in a recorded message. He said: “Hello Britain’s Got Talent. It is a joy to bring you these greetings, to all of the contestant­s, to the judges, to the audience, to all who make this possible.

“Thank you for what you are doing, thank you to the contestant­s who offer yourselves and share your talent and your gifts with the rest of us, you ... help to bring some joy and happiness.

“So, thank you, God bless you, God keep you and may God hold us all in those almighty hands of love.”
