Britain's Got Talent fans say real winner was 'robbed' after Viggo Venn crowned 2023 champion

After hundreds of performances the Britain's Got Talent 2023 winner has now been revealed. The final on Sunday night (June 4) saw 11 acts give it their all but in the end the public voted for Viggo Venn to be crowned the champion.

The comedy dancer, who had fans and the BGT judging panel in stitches during his performances to his signature song One More Time, has now earned a spot to perform at the Royal Variety Performance as well as bagging the £250,000 prize pot.

The act from Norway, who sports a Hi-Vis vest during his entertaining routines, made it to the final three alongside dancer Lillianna Clifton and young magician Cillian O'Connor. The results read out from hosts Ant and Dec then revealed that Viggo had won the most public votes.

As Ant told him he'd "captured the heart of Britain", Viggo responded: "Not just Britain, the heart of Simon," who he brought up onto the stage to feature in his final performance.

But despite the public crowning the champion, many viewers appeared to be less than impressed with the outcome stating that the 'real' winner had been 'robbed'.
