Britain's Got Talent winner BOOED by live audience as final descends into chaos

Britain's Got Talent saw an unlikely winner crowned during last night's epic final - but some of the audience were NOT happy about the audience vote and were heard booing the result.

Controversially, inspirational dancer Musa Motha - whose leg was amputated when he was just 11 years old - failed to get a place in the top three, as did incredible opera singer Malakai Bayoh.

So hi-vis-wearing Viggo Venn was visibly shocked after being announced as the winner, nabbing £250,000 and a place on the Royal Variety Show, and went on to race around the stage and knock host Ant McPartlin over.

But after the result was announced, some of the audience could be heard booing and viewers took to Twitter to give their thoughts.

One tweeted: "Very surprised. But Viggo was very funny. Very distasteful for anyone to boo Viggo. Not his fault he won, people voted for him, not anyone else. Made it a sour end thanks to the audience reaction. Well done, Viggo!!! #BritainsGotTalent #BGT2023 #bgt."

While another tweeted: "Sounded like a lot of boos there when #ViggoVenn was announced as the winner of #BritainsGotTalent. I thought he was great but a shock omissions from the final 3, and I think everyone thought the young lad would win. Bit of a deflated, down-beat end to the series #BGT2023 #BGT."

A third commented: "Did you hear them boo’s on @BGT? Quite right too, ridiculous. So much more talent in that final tonight. #BGT2023 should not have made the live shows. Poor winner."

Another raged: "NEVER EVER EVER EVER watching @BGT #BritainsGotTalent again. absolute shambles‼️ a guy running about in a high vis vest over so much proper genuine real talent? the boos in that audience, shocked faces and genuine tears said it all for me‼️ SHAMBLES."

"By a stretch, that is the worst Britain's Got Talent result EVER. If that really is genuine, then the British voting public should be ashamed and embarrassed. Booing from the audience, and rightly so. Some real talent missed out there. Joke. #BGT2023 #BritainsGotTalent #BGT," one fumed.
