A carer has spoken of her delight at making the final of a national talent competition for the second time. <\/p>\n
Keeley Bayley will be among the 12 contestants competing in the grand final of Homecare’s Got Talent 2026 in Birmingham later – held to celebrate the care industry.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old from Stafford got through the semi-final after impressing the judges with a “stunning” contemporary dance performance to Tommee Profit’s version of Cry Me A River.<\/p>\n
“I cannot believe I’m in the final but I’m so grateful to be there,” she told BBC Radio Stoke.<\/p>\n
“I’m the only dancer this year so I’m very proud to be representing all those dancers.”<\/p>\n
Bayley, who has been a dancer for the last 10 years, said she would be “expanding on the story” of her semi-final performance and will add a couple more songs.<\/p>\n
After making the final in 2025, she said the friends she made during the contest were the reason she decided to compete again in 2026.<\/p>\n
“That’s the power of this competition, she added. “Everybody is so supportive of one another.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A carer has spoken of her delight at making the final of a national talent competition for the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":730549,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-730548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=730548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730548\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/730549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=730548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=730548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=730548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
