Series 12[]

Katherine and Joe auditioned for Series 12 of Britain's Got Talent under the name 'Beauty and the Beast', dressed as the aforementioned characters (Katherine stated that Joe's mask is from China). Before their audition, they stated that 'it would be a dream to perform in front of the Royal Family, and I’d like to think they’d like us as well'.

In their audition, they performed 'Something There' from the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack, as Katherine sang the first verse with a good singing voice, however when Joe sang it was clear that his voice was inadequate. After their audition, Alesha commended Katherine, stating 'Your voice is actually quite pleasant', however Simon remarked to Joe 'I'd find it hard to sing with that mask'. They were sent home during the audition stage of the competition.

Series 13[]

In Series 13, Katherine and Joe returned as Elsa and Sven from "Frozen". As Katherine sang "Let it Go" from the Frozen soundtrack by Idina Menzel and Joe performed a tap dance routine. After the performance, Simon criticized the act, and Amanda commented how he's always said the most important thing about the show is listening to the audience behind him, so Simon left and let the audience decide. They advanced onto the following round, however they failed to reach the Semi-Finals.

Series 14[]

Katherine and Joe returned for Series 14 as Ariel and Sebastian from The Little Mermaid. They performed 'Part of Your World' and 'Under The Sea' from "The Little Mermaid" soundtrack, with Katherine singing as Joe performed a tap dance, performing in front of the Judges' Panel at the end of the routine. Simon buzzed and criticised the act, remarking 'Out of the three performances this was the worst', before David went on to describe the duo as 'The spirit of Britain's Got Talent'.

In their Semi-Final performance, Katherine dressed as Elsa with Joe as Olaf from Frozen. They performed 'Into the Unknown' by Idina Menzel, with Joe descending onto the stage midway through the performance, however, he unfortunately stumbled at the end after one of the taps on his tap shoes broke off. Alesha buzzed the performance, remarking 'You are great fun, but I missed the crab'. David however praised the duo, describing the act as 'The perfect fusion of song and dance together'.

After BGT[]
