Britain's Got Talent viewers got all emotional as they spotted a moment between one of the young acts and the judges during the live final. The ITV talent show came to a spectacular end on Sunday night (June 5) following a week of live semi-final shows.
And it was comedian Axel Blake who was crowned the 2022 winner, bagging the £250,000 prize money and a spot at the star-studded Royal Variety Performance. The 33-year-old property maintenance manager from west London, who was Simon Cowell’s golden buzzer choice, said "words can’t even explain" his emotions as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly announced his name.
Axel scooped the title as ventriloquist Jamie Leahey and his puppet Chuck the chicken came in second, while singer Tom Ball took third place.
