ITV BGT Final: Winner Axel Blake controversy and Ant and Dec's touching message as act goes wrong

At the end of the Platinum Jubilee weekend celebrations it was time to settle down in front of the TV and watch the finals of ITV's Britain's Got Talent. But the show was not without its drama.

As the programme came down to the final three, the battle was between singer Tom Ball, comedian Axel Blake, and teen ventriloquist Jamie Leahy. The big prize - the accolade of taking the winner's status, a cash prize of £250,000, and the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.

It was Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer act, funny-man Axel Blake, who finally scooped the crown as winner of Britain's Got Talent 2022.
