Sister act Chloe and Grace Bruce added a little sex appeal to their martial art acts as they blew away the judges with their meticulous moves.

Training seven days a week, the girls were determined to add new elements to their routine which Amanda branded as an “exciting, unique act.”

Dressed in red body suits, the girls smashed their synchronised steps and baton twirling.

Speaking after the performance, David Hasselfhoff said: “The first time you were fantastic, I didn’t think you could be even better…very hot, very sexy, very cool.”

Michael added that he would like to meet the whole family and Amanda added that they brought sex appeal to something that she had never before thought of as being glamorous.

Even sulky Simon was impressed saying: “That was a really, really good act…you two should actually be in a movie.”

Record-breaking sister Chloe, who holds the Guinness World record for the highest amount of kicks in one minute, currently runs her own martial arts school.

Dreaming ahead, the girls spoke of how they would spend the winning prize: “If we won £100,000 we would invest it towards our future. We definitely would like to invest in a bigger school for the kids we teach as our current premises are quite small. Maybe buy our own premises as we are renting at the moment.”

The sisters took to the stage this evening against Girls Roc, Paul Gbegbaje, Ted and Grace, Joe Oakley, Ronan Parke, Donelda Guy, and Stuart Arnold – certainly a night of fierce competition. Despite this, the sisters remain confident.

“It would be the most amazing feeling; we can't even begin to think about the emotions and feelings that would be running through us at that time. But it will be a very emotional night!”

Remember Jesse Jane McParland, the little girl who burst onto the scene with her awesome martial arts display as a nine-year-old on Britain’s Got Talent?
McParland is now 13 and she has continued to thrill millions of fans around the world.
She has even impressed Hong Kong martial arts hero Jackie Chan, who can now be counted as one of her admirers.
Chan sent her a video message on stage and gave her a box of gifts while she was competing in the World’s Got Talent television show in Hunan, China recently.

Chan has probably been following McParland since the teenager became a star on Britain’s Got Talent in 2015.
And the 65-year-old Hollywood star of Rush Hour and The Foreigner made sure McParland got a little inspiration from him.
He gifted her a copy of one of his books, signed with the words: “Dear Jesse, Never Give Up, Love U, Enjoy, Jackie Chan.”

McParland said the competition was very tough in Hunan but that Chan’s inspirational words lifted her spirits.

According to ITV.com, McParland has never lost her world championship crown in the prestigious Wako kick-boxing competition and now she’s setting her sights on winning Olympic gold.
She said: “Hopefully one day I’ll be in the Olympics and I really want to be in a movie with Jackie Chan, that’s my dream.”

I'm posting this on our Britain’s Got Talent thread (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?60688-Britain%92s-Got-Talent) but I'm assuming that the book was Jackie's most recent, Never Grow Up (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?68575-Never-Grow-Up-AKA-Growing-Old-Before-Growing-Up-new-autobiography-by-Jackie-Chan) (which I still have yet to read :o), so I'm copying this there too.
