Matt Edwards
comedy magician
Matt, 34, from Suffolk, has been performing since he was five, after his dad bought him a magic trick from a shop in London’s Covent Garden, and hopes to open his own magic school one day. He won over the judges with a salt-themed trick to the tune of The Champs’ Tequila. Ant says: ‘I was laughing so much I thought I was going to pee myself.’
Dec says: ‘He hasn’t been given the break until now, but we just wanted to be there and do it.’
Matt says: ‘I’ve cried so many times since my audition aired as everyone has shown me so much love and support. In the live shows I want to show more of the same and I’m looking forward to trying to get my personality across, which is the most important thing.’
