Personal life
Anthony Ghosh / DJ Talent lives in his birth city,
London, with his
Indian father Sujit, and his
English mother Patricia. He is based and lives in
Eastbourne,
England.
In 2005, he appeared on ''
The Jeremy Kyle Show'' with his mother, who was questioning his respect for women and his lifestyle as a DJ. He was ridiculed as he bragged about his apparent fame and was mocked by numerous members of the studio audience.
In late 2008, as a direct result of the
credit crunch and its associated economic downturn, Talent attempted to raise cash by selling off his 28 gold teeth for £14,000, although ultimately this was never seen through.
DJ Talent also goes under alias production names Cyber Headz Crew/ MR T.
''Britain's Got Talent''
His act as part of ''Britain's Got Talent'' for the auditions stage solely consisted of a one verse rap. The lyrics are as follows:
:I say Britain
:You say Talent
:Britain's got talent!
:This is DJ Talent!
Despite apparent criticism, and receiving four buzzes from the judging panel, albeit one operated incorrectly after
Kelly Brook pressed
Piers Morgan's buzzer (although she claimed that it was not DJ Talent, but Piers's dancing), Talent made it past the opening stage to the semi-finals. After performing and being put through, Talent proceeded to invite judge
Kelly Brook out to dinner, which was accepted on her behalf by
Simon Cowell.
He was previously set on dating Kelly Brook.
The popularised Talent theme was used in the Britain's Got Talent show in subsequent episodes between acts as one of several jingles.
