Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) is back on our screens this weekend as a whole new host of Brits audition for the talent show.
From magic tricks to acrobatics, BGT has seen pretty much everything over the years but only one act can be crowned the winner for 2024.
Talking of winners, do you remember who was crowned in 2023? Let’s go back in time.
Who won Britain’s Got Talent in 2023?
The ITV talent competition sees entries from around the world and in 2023 a Norwegian man took the crown.
Your votes meant it all came down to @viggovenn, Lillianna Clifton and @CilliansMagic, all worthy winners, but only one could take the crown!

Let's hear it ONE MORE TIME for our #BGT 2023 CHAMPION, Viggo Venn! 🏆#BritainsGotTalent #BGTFinal #BGT2023 pic.twitter.com/7ymRTxBlbV
Comedian Viggo Venn impressed with his high-vis jacket-inspired routines and took home the £250,000 prize.
He also earned himself a spot on the bill at the Royal Variety Performance.
The Norwegian comedian won the hearts of the nation with his comical routine which included bouncing around the stage in a giant balloon.
He also gifted Simon Cowell one of his iconic hi-vis jackets before the entire audience could be seen wearing them, along with the other three judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli, as everyone began dancing along to Daft Punk’s anthem One More Time.
The comedian has since toured the UK with live shows.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
