Amanda Holden hits back at Britain's Got Talent fans after final anger

Britain's Got Talent (BGT) judge Amanda Holden has given a rather blunt response to fuming fans who have complained about the winner of this year's show. Comedian Viggo Venn took home the title and £250,000 prize during last night's (June 5) grand final shown live on ITV1.

The Norwegian wowed the BGT audience with another high-vis jacket routine, which was enough for the 33-year-old to bag victory ahead of dancer Lilliana Clifton and magician Cillian O'Connor. The judges were full of praise for Viggo, with Alesha Dixon saying he had "captivated the nation".

Simon Cowell, who got involved with the act by donning a high-vis jacket of his own, added: "At least you didn’t make me look stupid tonight. I have never ever met an act like you in my life, I will admit it, I really really love you now."
