Paddy was 85 years old when she went on Britain’s Got Talent to show the world that she can dance. With the help of Nicko, she was able to fool the judges into thinking their performance was going to be boring.
For their very first dance, they deliberately started slow. Everyone was thinking that was going to be it for the senior. Then they surprised everyone when the music got faster.
Suddenly Nicko picked up Paddy as if she was weightless, and he started spinning her and twirling her. He even helped her do a few flips and cartwheels in the air.
It was thanks to their skills and charisma that they got the Golden Buzzer for their performance. Ever since then, they never looked back, and they danced harder and harder whenever they came on.
Their following performances were always great. They would have color-coordinated outfits, and even backup dancers that would help set the scene. One performance had a song that was all about their journey.
When the judges would watch them dance, they always had big smiles on their faces. It was mixed with worry, too, since it was impossible to forget how old Paddy was.
The iconic duo proved that age was just a number. Paddy was a fantastic dancer, even better than many people younger than her.
