Sheffield singing soldiers bid for glory on Britain's Got Talent this weekend

Corporal Lee Day and Sergeant Vince Fountain make up swing singing duo Soldiers Of Swing – and the pair have made it through to the semi-finals of the ITV talent contest.

Their appearance in the hit ITV show will be aired from 8pm on Saturday night – when viewers will see if they can secure a place in the final.

A post on the pair’s Facebook page said: “Well, that’s it..... semi final done.

"After five awesome days in London we have finished and done all we can!

“Our semi final will be on television on Saturday October 3. Wish us luck!

“Back in Sheffield now and back to normality for a little while.”

The two are now strangers to television talent shows, having already appeared on The Voice.

After the pair of reservists went down a storm in their squadron bar, Sergeant Fountain convinced Corporal Day he really could sing.

Before they knew it, they had bought £1,000 worth of kit and they had started being booked up for gigs.

"Our first gigs were old people's homes, parties for pensioners," said Sergeant Fountain.

The pair will go head to head with seven other acts in the last of the semi-finals.

One act will be voted through with the others’ fate in the hands of the public as they bid for a £250,000 cash prize and a spot on the bill at the Royal Variety Performance.
