Comedian Axel Blake took home the top prize during the final of Britain's Got Talent 2022. The funnyman beat the likes of operatic busker Maxwell Thorpe, singer Tom Ball, who came in third place, and teen ventriloquist Jamie Leahy, who came second, to win the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
Axel, who was Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer act in the ITV talent contest, clasped his hands over his head in disbelief when his name was called out by hosts Ant and Dec. The congratulations came flooding in for the delighted comic.
But viewers watching at home were left divided after it emerged after his stand-up audition that he had his own show on Amazon Prime Video. The comedy special, which is currently unavailable to watch, was filmed from his 2018 headline show I'm Not Gonna Lie at the Indigo at the O2 in London.
