Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Impressionist Jon Clegg has been chosen as the “wildcard” act who will complete the line-up of finalists for this year's Britain's Got Talent.
He said he was “on top of the world” to be given a second chance and join the 10 acts who are already through to the finale of the ITV show on Saturday night.
Clegg follows in his father's foosteps as he had been a contestant on TV talent show New Faces in the 1980s with his own mimicry.
In his audition the cruise entertainer and panto performer did a Celebrity Big Brother-themed act which included an impression of programme boss Simon Cowell.
He missed out on a place in the final after the judges' decision went to deadlock, but he is now back in the running for the £250,000 prize and a chance to take part in the Royal Variety Performance.
Clegg said: “My dad is absolutely over the moon. He's so made up for me. Hopefully he'll be able to come and see me perform on Saturday.”
The Britain’s Got Talent final airs Saturday 7 May on ITV.
