The outrageous Norwegian comic Viggo Venn, who is well-known for his exuberant routines and high-visibility yellow jackets, has won the most recent season of Britain's Got Talent.
Bruno Tonioli, a fellow judge, said he had "created one of the most memorable characters since Mr Bean," and Alesha Dixon said he "captivated the nation.".
Venn defeated Musa Motha, a South African dancer who had one leg amputated when he was 11 years old, as the bookmakers' favorite.
Lilliana Clifton and Cillian O'Connor, two teenagers, placed second and third, respectively.
Venn received a $250,000 prize for winning as well as a spot in the Royal Variety Performance.
After winning the ITV talent competition, he made a joke about how visible he felt at the moment. "You're welcome. ".
Michael Hogan, a critic for The Telegraph, said it was "the best result in years" and compared Venn to Vic Reeves, Mr. Bean, and Billy Connolly.
Malakai Bayoh, a 14-year-old opera singer, and the Ugandan kids' group Ghetto Kids were the other finalists.
In a surprise appearance at the final on Sunday, former contestant Susan Boyle sang I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables, which she had used as part of her 2009 audition, alongside the show's current West End cast.
She described it as "great" to be back on the TV show after the performance. It's particularly special to me, she said. "I had a minor stroke last April, but I fought valiantly to return to the stage, and I succeeded.
