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.
