Wrexham: Olly Pearson comes 4th in Britain's Got Talent 2025
Also known as 'Guitar Olly', he was the last of the 11 finalists to perform on tonight's show.
The series was won by magic act Harry Moulding, who claimed the £250,000 prize and a spot at the Royal Variety show.
Fellow North Walians Han & Fran, from Llandudno, finished ninth.
Olly reached the final after earning a Golden Buzzer in both his audition and semi-final, and tonight (May 31) performed renditions of Wings' Live and Let Die, and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
He received a standing ovation from all four judges for his performance, and said afterwards: "That just felt like I was on top of the world. I don't know how to explain it."
Bruno Tonioli said: "We all love a rock 'n' roll star, and you're one of them. You're a little Brian May."
Alesha Dixon told him: "What a way to close the show. You're such a little superstar; you are so talented, it's ridiculous."
Simon Cowell added: "You're absolutely technically brilliant. When we talk to you backstage, you're really, really shy, and then you get on stage with that guitar, and you're a completely different person.
"Forget about your age; you're just a brilliant, brilliant musician, and you're gutsy."
Amanda Holden said: "That was unbelievable. We forget that you're a kid. That was super professional and massively entertaining… once again, you did yourself proud."
Olly, who was the last of the 11 finalists to perform tonight, is competing for the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Show, and to win a £250,000 cash prize.

Yet while the Blackpool lad's victory was shrouded in "fix" claims, he shrugged off the backlash on Monday's Lorraine. Good Morning Britain anchor Ranvir, 47, was standing in for regular host Lorraine Kelly, 65, and told how Harry was a "good old Northerner, a Lancashire lad," before she added: "You always had my vote." As his interview wrapped, he pulled out a pack of cards to challenge Ranvir. He asked her to pull a card from the pack and show the camera, where she revealed it was the 10 of clubs. Harry didn't look at the card but asked her: "All good, are you happy? "Just say stop in it goes," before she inserted it back into the pack which he shuffled slowly, at Ranvir's request. To her shock he then pulled out the 10 of clubs and confessed: "No, most magicians wouldn't show you the moment this happens but I will. "If you watch that 10, we will bring it really close, I'm going to let you do this. "Can you push it in [the pack] yourself?" Harry Moulding crowned winner of Britain's Got Talent 2025 After a click of his fingers, Harry said "look at me," and Ranvir let out an audible gasp. The ITV favourite said: "What did you just do there?" as he replied: "It jumped all the way here." She could then be seen clapping as she said: "That is absolutely ridiculous well done." SHOW FIX?

The Dancing Granny - Granny Paddy Jones and her professional partner Niko Espinosa first hit headlines when they won the Spanish talent show Tú sí que vales in 2009, before going on to appear on Britain's Got Talent in 2014 where they came ninth. Amanda Holden was so impressed with Paddy that she gave her the Golden Buzzer, which sent them straight through to the semi-finals. But things took a worrying turn when Paddy cracked a rib while rehearsing a new move and her place on the show was under doubt. She was given the all-clear to perform in the end but didn't quite live up to expectations. - Granny Paddy Jones and her professional partner Niko Espinosa first hit headlines when they won the Spanish talent show Tú sí que vales in 2009, before going on to appear on Britain's Got Talent in 2014 where they came ninth.

Bars and Melody were first seen on the 2014 series of Britain's Got Talent, getting shuttled into the semi-finals when Simon Cowell pressed his Golden Buzzer. They made it to the final thanks to a performance of I'll Be Missing You but lost out on the crown to Collabro. These days Charlie Lenehan - known as Melody - is covered in tattoos, with inkings on his neck, arms and chest. But he is as close as ever to co-star Leondre Devries - who is Bars - with the pair seen enjoying themselves in exotic locations all over the world. Magician Harry took to the stage again after winning a spot in the semi-final. And while he wowed the audience and judges, viewers thought that something wasn't fair. One disgruntled fan said: "10 minutes of sh**e. How come no other act gets that time. It's a big fix folks." Another added: "11 acts but some got more stage time than others! How can that be fair?" It's not the first time the magician has caused controversy because fans insisted they had worked out his semi-final trick. 7 The northerner is a part of the Magic Circle Credit: ITV 7 He scooped the BGT title over the weekend Credit: Shutterstock Editorial
