Thousands of people descended on Hertfordshire yesterday as Britain's Got Talent winners Diversity launched the University's new entertainment venue alongside a wealth of local talent.
Before stunning a roomful of screaming spectators with their Transformers routine, the dancers took time to sign autographs and greet fans in the building's newly opened restaurant.
Their performance in the Auditorium was followed by talent show sets from ten of the county's greatest up and coming acts, handpicked by judges from the University of Hertfordshire, its Students' Union and event sponsor the Welwyn and Hatfield Times.
After tense deliberation the judges announced the three winners, giving third prize and £250 to hip hop group Pure Flowz, £500 to young singer Cristina and £1,000 to comedy-fuelled dancing twins, and UH students Double Trouble.
