DANCERS, singers, poets and comedians - The Forum's Got Talent contest had them all.

The opening day of The Forum - the University of Hertfordshire's new �38m entertainment venue - kicked off with a spectacular talent show, with 10 acts from around Hertfordshire battling it out for a first prize of �1,000.

The contest was won by Hatfield twins Nathanial and Ismael Hinds, otherwise known as dance duo Double Trouble, who wowed the judges with an energetic and humorous performance which included a tongue-in-cheek rendition of Aretha Franklin's Respect.

Theirs was just one of several glittering performances during the show, and you can see just a few of the highlights by viewing the video above.

The afternoon also saw a performance from Britian's Got Talent winners Diversity.

A full video of the contest will be available on the University of Hertfordshire students' union from Friday, September 18.
