Britain's Got Talent fans said the same thing as the 2025 winner was announced on Saturday night

Viewers of Britain's Got Talent unanimously reacted as the 2025 winner was announced on Saturday (May 31) night.

Tonight's live final saw eleven acts delivering their last performance in the hopes of clinching the title of series 18 champion.

Once the performers had showcased their talents, it was revealed that LED dance group The Blackouts, magician Harry Moulding, and young gymnast Binita Chetry had secured spots in the top three.

It was then disclosed by hosts Ant and Dec that Binita secured a respectable third place, prompting the nine-year-old to express her joy: "I'm very happy and proud of myself, it's the best experience."

The announcement followed that Harry emerged victorious, placing The Blackouts as runners up, reports Belfast Live.

Overwhelmed by the moment, Harry attempted to gather himself while Ant expressed his gratitude towards The Blackouts for bringing their act to Britain's Got Talent from overseas.

A member of the dance troupe replied: "Thank you so much, we feel so grateful for this journey. Thank you so much and congratulations, Harry. Well deserved."

 

Dec then spoke to Harry, who was still in shock at the result.

"I can't believe what is going on. Thank you everyone so, so much. I genuinely feel like everyone has been behind me. This has been the most incredible journey, I can't believe that I'm here. Thank you," he said.

Harry is now set to receive the substantial prize of £250,000 and the prestigious opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance later in the year.
