Britain's Got Talent has a new champion after comedian Viggo Venn was crowned a rather unlikely winner winner at the end of Sunday's grand finale.
Following a week of live semi finals, the acts left in the competition had one last chance to impress the judges and, more importantly, the voting public, as they returned to the Hammersmith Apollo stage. In the hours before the live broadcast ITV, bookies adjusted their odds on who they thought would triumph, with long standing favourite Malakai Boyah eclipsed in the betting by dancer Musa Motha.
After the Britain's Got Talent judges came under fire just moments into the show, for choosing 'pants guy' Tonikaku as their wildcard act for final, it was the job of young dance group Ghetto Kids to open proceedings, before the likes of Olivia Lynes, Amy Lou and Travis George also performed.

Madcap entertainer Viggo got a massive reaction from the audience for his routine, which even included a cameo from a reluctant Simon Cowell, before hotly tipped Musa and Malakai rounded things off, before Simon said they he thought there might be a shock result on the night.
After the public had voted, it was the job of hosts Ant and Dec to reveal who'd made the final three, with young dancer Lillianna Clifton, magician Cillian O'Connor and Viggo left in the running and , after anther nailbiting moment it was Viggo who won, with no one more shocked at the outcome than him.
Ant told him he'd 'clearly captured the heart of Britain, as Viggo replied: "Not just Britain, the heart of Simon," before his signature song One More Time sounded out around the auditorium.
