Stavros Flatley star Michalakis Andreas has become a dad for the second time and yes, we feel old too.

Known as Lagi, the dance star rose to fame when competing with his dad, Demetrios, as a British-Cypriot dance act on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009.

It’s safe to say they stole the hearts of the nation, with Lagi just 12 years of age at the time.

However, he’s far from a child anymore and he’s got a family of his own, as his wife, Annika Crawford, has given birth to baby number two, one year after she and Lagi wed.

Announcing their adorable arrival, the overjoyed couple shared a sweet snap to Instagram, revealing the newborn’s name and its connection to Lagi’s dad.

Lagi and Annika posted a black-and-white photo of their baby alongside and 19-month-old daughter Xenia’s hands. 

They revealed that their second daughter is named Demetria Demetriou, inspired by the other Stavros Flatley star in his life.

Demetrios and Demetria are the Latinised male and female forms of the Ancient Greek name Dēmḗtrios AKA Demetris – meaning ‘devoted to goddess Demeter’.

Back in July, hairdresser Lagi announced that he was due to become a dad of two with posts on social media.

In a video montage shared with his thousands of followers, the BGT alum gave fans a glimpse inside his gorgeous coastal wedding last September.

The video ended with Annika cradling her firstborn while showing off her blossoming baby bump.

Their caption read: ‘Guess we do this all again, couldn’t do it with anyone better.’ 

He and Annika had been dating for five years when they got engaged on New Year’s Eve in 2020.

In April 2022, Lagi revealed that they had become parents to their first child, named, Xenia Demetriou, who was born in March last year.

Lagi and his father, 40 years old at the time, came fourth on Britain’s Got Talent, finishing behind Julian Smith, Susan Boyle, and Diversity.

They became famous for their bleach blonde wigs, comical moves, and Demetrios’ tattooed stomach.

In 2019, the loveable duo returned to Simon Cowell’s reality show for Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions and finished second.

Alas, all good things must come to an end.

Lagi has since quit the dance act and now focuses on his barber shop in Cyprus.

Stavros Flatley lives on, though, as, as reported by The Sun, Demetrios will continue to perform alongside his 19-year-old nephew Samson.

He told the publication: ‘We’ve done this for 10 years for a joke. We’ve done so many amazing things but what is there left to do? We’ve done the Royal Variety, we’ve played in China, Monaco – everywhere.

‘So when we got to The Champions, I thought this was the right time to leave. But Simon Cowell told me not to quit forever.’
