BBC The Greatest Dancer fans think Liverpool teen Harrison should have won

A Liverpool teenager who has stunned audiences and celebrity judges on The Greatest Dancer just missed out winning the competition.

Harrison Vaughan from Cronton has been dancing since he was four-years-old, and previously starred as Bruce Bogtrotter in the musical Matilda in the West End during 2015 and 2016.

And at just 16 years old, he's proved he's a talented performer, wowing the dance captains week after week.

The  Huyton  teen was being coached by Glee star Matthew Morrison on the show and got to perform with the American star on tonight's show.

And fans were delighted to see Harrison reinvent his initial audition, as he took to the stage as Pennywise, The Clown.

Following his performance, fans tweeted amazed by his raw talent.

T Morgan said: "I was screaming the whole time. My gosh this boy is summin else."

Another wrote: "Nailed it Harrison. My family have loved watching you. You are in for an amazing dance performing journey."

And Kellie tweeted: "HARRSION JUST WOW. That was so so so brilliant well done good luck!!"

All three finalists performed exceptionally well, however there could only be one winner.

And at the end of the show, it was announced Oti Mabuse's Michael and Jowita were the winners of The Greatest Dancer 2020.

Fans were equally happy for Michael and Jowita, but many revealed they hoped Harrison would win.

Shona said: "Thought Harrison was absolutely amazing and he was my favourite but well done to Michael and Jovita my mum's faves. Lily and Joseph so talented too."

Louise wrote: "Genuinely gutted Harrison didn’t win."

Sarah tweeted: "Harrison is my winner! This routine is absolutely iconic!"

Robyn said: "I'm disappointed but not hugely, I LOVE Harrison but fair play, Michael & Jowita are a force to be reckoned with. Harrison will definitely have an amazing career ahead of him."

Stani wrote: "Harrison - you were robbed. What an incredible talent you are. I hope you go on to great things. Your clown was a gift to all of us."

And Maz said: "Disappointed for Harrison - he was my Greatest Dancer. His 'IT' dance is just phenomenal! Well done getting into the top three."
