STRIKE? Are you kidding...
These two lads have never worked harder since finding fame on TV's Britain's Got Talent.

The Star caught up with Doncaster lad Danny Ball, aged 22, and Liam Richards, 19, from Waterthorpe, Sheffield, as they wowed shoppers at Meadowhall with their incredible martial art routine.

And we were lucky to tie them down for 10 minutes.

Danny said: "It's been mad since Britain's Got Talent. First it was the tour, and we've not stopped since - performing four or five shows each week up and down the country."

Danny says the lads have "luckily" stayed injury free - although he did almost cop a kick from his partner.

Liam, who runs the Excel Martial Arts Class in Waterthorpe, said: "Some of the areas on which we perform are really tight, especially the ones in nightclubs.

"I did get a bit close to Danny on one move - but I managed to miss him by a millimetre or two."

The lads' busy schedule is set to continue until Christmas at least, when they join the cast of the Peter Pan panto at the Manchester Opera House for the season.

Not only that but they're also working on a CD which they hope to have in the shops soon.

Boring...

Yes, it was “novel” the first time we saw it, but now it’s just monotonous drivel.
