When Diversity stepped on the Britain’s Got Talent stage in 2009, viewers knew they were something special.
However, it was young Perri Kiely who drew the most attention. With his unmissable afro and skill for backflips, he was the little star of the group’s first audition.
Unsurprisingly, Diversity went on to win Britain’s Got Talent, and since then Perri from Diversity has had a varied career, encompassing dance, presenting, and reality TV.
So what is Perri Diversity doing now?
What is Perri Diversity Up To Now?
In fact, Perri now has a successful career as a radio host.
Starting from August 2020, Perri Diversity has been hosting the Kiss FM Breakfast show every morning with his dance mate Jordan Banjo – brother to Diversity leader Ashley Banjo.

So far, the show has been a huge success. Perri Diversity’s show won the award for Best New Show at The Radio Academy Audio & Radio Industry Awards. The awards ceremony was also hosted by Perri and Jordan.
Speaking about their show, which blends entertainment with serious discussion, Ashley said: “Of course, we want to get everyone’s day started right. We want everyone to have a good time and start off in a good place.
But at the same time, there’s a lot going on in the world. I think that’s a big part of our show, and what Kiss allows us to do is just be 100% real. So when those issues [of racism and diversity] are about, like they are, I feel like you have to really go out of your way to avoid them.”
Outside of his work on radio, Perri is still dancing with his Diversity mates. This summer, he joined Ashley and Jordan Banjo to perform a new choreographed performance at selected Butlins resorts.
Britain’s Got Talent
Perri rose to fame with Diversity in 2009. In their first audition, they performed a creative dance that gave us a first look at what Diversity was all about: entertainment, humour, and courageous street dance.
They auditioned in London, and immediately wowed the judges. After their performance, Amanda Holden said: “Just when I think I’ve seen it all, you came on.”

They ended up going through to the semi-finals with Susan Boyle, where they came up against fellow dance troupe act Flawless.
However, both Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden thought Diversity were better than Flawless. Going into the final, Susan Boyle was the favourite to win. However, in shock results from the public vote, Diversity took the trophy.
After Britain’s Got Talent, the troupe performed at various festivals across the UK as well as on TV in the U.S.
