Britain's Got Talent breakout star Mr Zip has released a dance video online for his hit track on the talent show 'Where's My Keys, Where's My Phone'.
Mr Zip, real name Zippa Tafari, has stated his ambition to take his track around the world and has now released an easy-to-learn tutorial guide to the song's dance routine on YouTube.
Tafari, who works as a plasterer in Moss Side, is a local celebrity in Manchester, and is a part-time children's entertainer and youth worker.
A friend told the Manchester Evening News: "Zippa's so excited. What's happened is fantastic. He brought the house down. You just had to see Simon Cowell's face change. He's always funny and he really just loves life.
"I have a good feeling about this but it isn't his only track. There are others that are exciting and fun. He's the type of guy that just makes you laugh. He's done a lot of work in the community and anti-bullying stuff in schools. He's done a tremendous amount for young people.
"Ask anyone from the Manchester area aged 20-35 - they are bound to know the song 'What time is it, Mr Zip?' He influenced a lot of us from that time, and we're all now thinking, imagine if Mr Zip could get to number one."
His video from Saturday's audition show has now had over 1.3 million hits on YouTube and online campaigns have been started to get the track released as a single.
