73- Year- Old Break-Dancer Trapped In "Disability" Scandal

A 73-YEAR-OLD breakdancer looming as a genuine threat to Susan Boyle's Britain's Got Talent hopes has come under fire for claiming disability handouts.

Fred Bowers has wowed millions of viewers by spinning, flipping and rolling himself into contention for the £100,000 ($204,000) top prize, with top judge Simon Cowell sending the “absolutely brilliant” retiree through to the semi-final.

“This is why I love doing this show — because of people like you, Fred,” Cowell said.

But a UK tabloid has revealed Bowers’ neighbours say the pensioner has “never made a secret” of the fact he receives £70 ($142) a week and a free car to help him get around with a permanently injured leg.
