Britain's Got Talent runner-up Jamie Raven talks dogs and lemons
- Published
Jamie Raven may be the most talented human in Britain in 2015.
But that didn't stop eagle-eyed audience members from spotting the hole in the lemon which he cut in half and pulled a note out of written by Alesha Dixon.
Jamie ended up coming second to Jules and Matisse, but despite the slip-up in the final, he's set for a glittering career.
Now the dust has settled, he's been talking to Newsbeat's Chris Smith.
"So how does it feel to be the most talented human on the show?"
"It's a fact. It's the truth. Most talented human being 2015. And that's what I'll be writing on my Twitter later on today."
"Well OK, you were the most talented human. But how does it feel coming second to a dog?"
"You won't believe this, but the dog's just walked past.

"We're best of friends. It's a weird process this whole Britain's Got Talent thing, because you're all in the same position.
"It's very unusual in that there's so much pressure and everyone is trying to do their best, and you forge really quite close bonds with people and, you know, a friend's success is a blessing. So I couldn't be happier for Jules and Matisse.
"He's such a beautiful boy, he's licking me now. And it was… just an amazing experience to share with amazing people.
"And I'm so thrilled that, of all the people, they won. If it wasn't them I wanted Old Men Grooving to win, but I'm thrilled they did."
For the final, Jamie gave Alesha Dixon a box then made her sign a special Britain's Got Talent bank note before having it transform into a note telling her to look inside the box.
Inside the box was a drawstring bag with a lemon in it, which Jamie cut open to reveal Alesha's original signed note. It clearly wowed the judges.
"Close up magic like that is obviously very difficult to do, in these days of HD TV people are obviously taking a very close look at it. Obviously you can't really make notes appear inside lemons, how do you feel about the people on Twitter exposing how the trick is done?"
"It's great," said Jamie.
"With magic, I'm just trying to provoke people to think."

"Singers have music, dancers have their actions, I have a vehicle to entertain that will inspire people to think about it.
"Now some people are happy to watch it and enjoy it and that's great. Some people want to work it out. That's great.
"It is a live art - it's best performed live. You can't trick a camera. But what I'm hoping people enjoy is the live experience which is what the judges got and you saw how they reacted.
"If people want to go away and work it all out, that's fantastic for me because it just shows they're interested, and hopefully they'll buy a ticket to the show.
"I've got a live tour… In a couple of weeks I'm hoping to announce something. I'm really excited and they're all more than welcome to come - with their cameras - to try and work it all out."
"And how do you feel about winner Matisse the dog's own slight of paw? It was actually another dog that was doing the tightrope walk in their final act, and not Matisse."
"To be honest I didn't realise, I thought it was the same dog," Jamie said.
"But anyway it was brilliant, I mean a dog walking on a tightrope is just… Obviously I don't know anything about animals but if there's more than one I'm presuming it's because of the noise and everything.
"I know with Matisse they had to stop the pyrotechnics at the end because he doesn't like really loud noises. But it was fantastic.
"Any dog who can do a handstand is worth a quarter of a million pounds in my mind."
