The popular dancing duo Afronitaaa and Abigail have expressed their gratitude for the support from Ghanaians during the finals of the 2024 Britain's Got Talent held in the UK.

Afronitaaa took the opportunity to thank Ghanaians for their support, which helped them reach the final stage of the competition.

She also acknowledged the Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for posting about them on his social media page and urging the public to rally behind them during the critical stage of the contest.

"The whole of Ghana is going crazy about us. Every single TV station, every single radio station, every blogger, even the vice president [Bawumia] has posted about us and they are wishing us the best.

"The whole of Ghana is rooting for us, and we are so happy about it. We are thrilled to be here to put our country on the map and make them proud," she said in a video shared by UTV on X.

Meanwhile, Afronitaaa and Abigail were named the third-best act in the 2024 edition of Britain's Got Talent. The duo, favorites among judges and fans, missed out on the £250,000 prize money despite a captivating dance performance on Sunday, June 2, 2024.

They were surpassed by Jack Rhodes, who finished second, and Sydine Christmas, who won the prize money and the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.

The story of Afronitaaa and her protégé, Abigail, touched the hearts of the BGT audience and judges from their audition.

Abigail's ability to dance in sync with Afronitaaa, despite being hearing-impaired, garnered praise for the duo throughout the competition.
