Wembley date for dance act Diversity

Match day: Diversity will entertain up to 90,000 rugby union fans next month
Tim Stewart5 April 2012

Britain's Got Talent winners Diversity are set to perform at Wembley - and say it will be more terrifying than being judged by Simon Cowell.

The dance act will entertain up to 90,000 rugby fans at the 12 September match between Saracens and Northampton - the first Premiership rugby union match ever staged at the stadium.

Lead star Ashley Banjo said: "This will be a completely different experience from going in front of Simon Cowell.

"You know with him that as soon as you finish, he is going to be judging you. But it is actually more nerve-wracking to be performing in front of so many people."

Organisers hope that cheap tickets - £10 for adults, £5 for children - and the added draw of Diversity will see the crowd smash the world record for a club rugby union match.

That is the 82,208 who watched the Heineken Cup semi-final between Leinster and Munster at Croke Park, Dublin in May.

Banjo, 20, said: "It is going to be huge for us and we are really excited about it. I've never even been to Wembley before - the old or the new stadium."

England and Saracens captain Steve Borthwick said: "Diversity are a great bunch of guys and a huge draw.

"Some of the moves they have been showing us are amazing."
