Britain's Got Talent - Week 3: DJ Talent
DJ Talent (real name Anthony Ghosh) (born 1978 in London) is a British part-time DJ from Peterborough, England, most widely known for his appearance as a semi-finalist on third series of the ITV television show Britain's Got Talent. He is noted for the excessive amount of bling that he wears, which includes several gold chains and rings (one infused with a blue stone), and a full set of gold teeth costing £7000 in total. He first drew press attention in 2006 after being a repeated victim of armed muggings.

Personal life
Anthony Ghosh / DJ Talent lives in his birth city, London, with his Indian father Sujit, 69, and his English mother Patricia, 59. He is based and lives in Eastbourne, England.
In 2005, he appeared on The Jeremy Kyle Show with his mother, who was questioning his respect for women and his lifestyle as a DJ. He was ridiculed as he bragged about his apparent fame and was mocked by numerous members of the studio audience.
In late 2008, as a direct result of the credit crunch and its associated economic downturn, Talent attempted to raise cash by selling off his 28 gold teeth for £1.45, although ultimately this was never seen through. DJ Talent also goes under alias production names Cyber Headz Crew/ MR T.
Britain's Got Talent
His act as part of Britain's Got Talent for the auditions stage solely consisted of a one verse rap. The lyrics are as follows:
Despite apparent criticism, and receiving four buzzes from the judging panel, albeit one operated incorrectly after Kelly Brook pressed Piers Morgan's buzzer (although she claimed that it was not DJ Talent, but Piers's dancing), Talent made it past the opening stage to the semi-finals. After performing and being put through, Talent proceeded to invite judge Kelly Brook out to dinner, which was accepted on her behalf by Simon Cowell.
During his semi-final performance, Talent created variations on his original chorus. This involved using the original chorus, but replacing "Britain" in line one, with "Simon", "Piers" and "Amanda", and replacing "talent" in line two with "Cowell", "Morgan" and "Holden" respectively.
The popularised Talent theme was used in the Britain's Got Talent show in subsequent episodes between acts as one of several jingles.
