BRITAIN'S Got Talent winners Diversity have denied rumours of a rift with Simon Cowell and insist they are still working closely with his label. The group of 11 dancers, who are from East London and Essex, dismissed suggestions that the show's judge had ditched them in favour of runner-up Susan Boyle. Ashley Banjo, 20, said: "There have been a whole lot of rumours going around about how we have been dumped by Simon Cowell, which is completely untrue." He continued: "We are still working closely with his label, Syco and they are kind of co-managing us with our own management.

‘Britain’s Got Talent’ winners Diversity have been dumped by Simon Cowell. The dance troupe – whose moves are choreographed by Ashley Banjo, 20 - will not be signed to the music mogul’s company Syco while he concentrates on the show’s runner-up, Susan Boyle – who became a global singing sensation after appearing on the show. A source said: “Simon isn’t going to sign Diversity. He’s a music manager and his talent is turning people into singing stars.” The 11 members’ dance moves were previously hailed as “sheer perfection” by the 49-year-old show judge and they were tipped to open the 2012 London Olympics and support the Michael Jackson ‘This Is It’ residency in London. However, by not offering the boys a contract, Cowell has triggered speculation show bosses wanted Boyle, 49, to win so he could help her release an album. Another source told the News of the World newspaper: “Simon promised to sign Susan – whether or not she won the show. Diversity need specialist people who can help them develop.”
