Bexley’s Got Talent 2025 - Natalie Keel Crowned Winner!

The stage was set, the lights were dazzling, and the talent was off the charts as Bexley’s Got Talent 2025 took over The Delta Marriott Hotel in Bexleyheath for its spectacular Live Finals!

After a thrilling evening of performances from 15 outstanding finalists, vocalist Natalie Keel was crowned this year’s winner, taking home a £500 cash prize, the honour of turning on Bexleyheath’s Christmas Lights and performing live there and at next year’s Bexley’s Got Talent Finals, plus a featured interview on Maritime Radio. Congratulations extend to First Place Runner Up: Bolu, Second Place Runner Up: Georgina Collins and Theatre Box’s Shining Commendation Awardees: Ken Boyce Centre.

The sold-out event brought together community spirit, creativity, and incredible local talent, raising over £1,000 for the charity Bexley SNAP, which supports children and young people with disabilities and their families. The evening was attended by The Mayor of Bexley and her Consort, adding an extra touch of prestige to a night packed with music, energy, and emotion.

Reflecting on her win, Natalie said, “I’m honestly still in shock — I can’t believe I actually won Bexley’s Got Talent 2025!

"After taking a three/four-year break from performing live following Covid and the birth of my little boy, just getting back up on stage again this year felt like such a big step. To then be chosen as the winner was a complete surprise — I really wasn’t expecting it at all! It means so much to have been recognised by the judges, and I’m so grateful for their lovely feedback and for crowning me the winner.

"A huge thank you to Jade Flannery for organising such a brilliant event and for being so supportive of us throughout — you’ve given us all a place to share what we love doing and to shine in our own ways. I also want to say a massive well done to all the other acts who took part. The talent on that stage was incredible — everyone brought something special, and it must have been such a tough decision for the judges. It honestly felt like a celebration of our community and all the creativity within it. I’m still buzzing from the whole experience and just so thankful to have been part of such a fun, supportive event. What a night to remember!”

The Bexley's Got Talent 2025 judging panel included Maritime Radio's John Reen.
