Comedian Viggo Venn, who “captured the heart of the nation”, has been crowned the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2023. Dancer Lilliana Clifton, 13, and 14-year-old magician Cillian O’Connor placed in second and third respectively – but missed out on the title.
Venn’s high-vis inspired routine in the grand final won him the £250,000 prize. He will also get a spot on the bill at the Royal Variety Performance.
The 33-year-old had the judges laughing when he forced judge Simon Cowell to wear a matching high-vis jacket as rose petals were thrown over the pair before the whole audience erupted into high-vis. The audience were in raptures after the performance, chanting: “One more time,” in reference to his first audition on the show.
