Wagner Carrilho Biography

Wagner Fiuza-Carrilho (pronounced /ˈvɑːɡnər/), 54, is a Brazilian born retired P.E. teacher and karate enthusiast now living in Pensnett, Dudley. He said he entered the contest to get a "new start" and to be able to provide for his son. At the judges houses Fiuza-Carrilho performed Florence and the Machine's "You've Got The Love" to which Walsh joked to his assistant judge Sharon Osbourne that "He fancies you". Although he was not picked to be one the initial top 12 acts, mentor Walsh chose him as his wildcard for the live finals.
