Britain's Got Talent have crowned their winner - with Viggo Venn taking the crown.
The ITV1 show returned for the final time this series tonight, with 11 acts including the likes of Musa Motha, Amy Lou, Viggo Venn, Olivia Lynes, Ghetto Kids, Travis George, Malakai Bayoh, Duo Odyssey, Cillian O'Connor and Lillianna Clifton all performing again in the hope to take home the top prize - a slot at the Royal Variety Performance.
Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly hosted the proceedings tonight, with judges Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli all there to give their opinions on the finalists.
Cillian O'Connor, the young magician, placed third which left Lillianna Clifton and Viggo Venn waiting to find their fate. As Viggo was crowned champion, the crowd donned their high-vis jackets and screamed repeatedly 'one more time' until the music played.

This series has seen some huge highlights in what has been Bruno's first year on the panel after replacing David Walliams.
In one act, judge Bruno was blindfolded for a stunt and handed a weapon. When it was removed, he saw Simon lying on stage, apparently hit and he feared he had killed him in a shocking turn of events.

"I thought I’d killed him, the paramedics were running on, I was like, 'What have I done?' I was actually fuming after that. It was so evil," he exclusively told The Mirror, "There were thousands of people there and they were all in on the joke except me."
"They all said, ‘Go on, darling, there are no rules, have fun’. I was like okay, and then I messed it all up."

Before the show aired, Simon had explained how the show has changed over the last few years - and what that meant for nominees.
He said: "I think you've got two things, you want to make a show which people hopefully will enjoy watching. And secondly, you want to give whoever it is that opportunity, hopefully, for things to get better in their lives after they've auditioned. I think where things have changed a lot from where we first started is it always used to be about the end prize."
