Robert Anker, a former member of dance group Diversity, who won Britain's Got Talent in 2009, has died in a car crash in Canada.

The 27-year-old was killed when his car collided with a pick-up truck in Ontario, local media reports say.

Mr Anker, who was born in Essex, moved to Canada last year and married his girlfriend, Cyndi.

The group said in a Twitter post that he "inspired so many with his talent and was taken far too soon".

After making his name with the 2009 Britain's Got Talent winners, Mr Anker went on to appear in videos for music stars such as Paloma Faith and Jessie J.

He also appeared in the West End show Thriller Live. In a Facebook post, the show announced that it was dedicating Friday evening's performance to Mr Anker's memory.

Sometimes you miss threads that are right in front of you. It's by chance only that I noticed the In Remembrance thread. VEF member Hattertim has passed away. If you've ever looked at the magazine scans forum his name was synonymous with classic British mags. Please take a moment to read the posts of those who knew him through this site.
