Revealing the results backwards live on stage, Ant and Dec declared magician Harry Moulding as the winning performance.
After beating out 10 other finalists to take home the victory, Harry bagged himself £250,000 and a spot on the bill at the Royal Variety Performance.
As part of his routine, he jumped out of a plane and completed a skydive while correctly guessing the cards of the judges, who were left mystified.
This year's finalists were chosen after a string of semi-finals over the past five weeks, where both the public vote and the judges' Golden Buzzer gave power to who would make it to the last show.
It resulted in one of the most mixed finals in years, with an LED act, a ping-pong paddle wielding dance troupe, two singers, an 11-year-old guitarist, a drag queen, a comedian, a choir, a magician and a gymnast all vying for the top spot.
Bruno Tonioli declared the finalists "the strongest Britain's Got Talent had ever had".

The Final Showdown
The final 10 acts were: Hear Our Voice, The Blackouts, Harry Moulding, Stacey Leadbeatter, Olly Pearson, Ping Pong Pang, Binita Chetry, Joseph Charm, Vinnie McKee and Jasmine Rice.
On top of that, singing duo Han and Fran were brought back to the show as the wildcard finalists – being announced at the beginning of the series.
The pair performed an ABBA medley in order to kick off the night's show, with Simon saying he was "giving the people what they want" when they chose them to respond.
After that were Danish group Ping Pong Pang, a unique, neon-loving dance troupe who performed a routine dancing with paddles.
Hear Our Voice – a choir whose members is made up of those affected by the Post Office scandal – performed original track Gigantic by Will of the People.
Simon told the group: "If you won, it would be an F You to a certain group of people to deserve it.'
Stacey Leadbetter, who secured KSI's golden buzzer, then took to the stage, singing a version of Robbie Williams' iconic track, Angels.
Comedian Joseph Charm then took to the stage, waxing lyrical on relationships, his family, and racism in the UK.
"You made everybody feel a part of your act, you weren't afraid to go to the uncomfortable places - we need to go there more," said Alesha Dixon.
"I praise you, I'm proud of you. Congratulations, my friend."
Vinnie McKee then took to the stage, performing Yellow by Coldplay and being cheered on by fellow Scot Lorraine Kelly.

Simon was critical of the performance, telling him: "If I'm being honest with you, I did prefer the song you sung in the first semi."
He then quickly added: "But it doesn't matter, you did brilliant." as boos rung out among the audience.
Drag Queen Jasmine Rice then dazzled with a performance of Nessun Dorma – breaking down in tears as Amanda declared that "she thought she had just seen the winner of Britain's Got Talent".
Nine-year-old gymnast Binita Chetry was cheered on by her parents as she took to the stage next - with Simon calling her "one of the most talented contestants they'd ever had" after their audition.
Performing a daring routine to Everybody Wants to Rule The World, the youngest finalist left the judges staggered by her performance.
The Blackouts – whose semi-final run was dogged with a technical error – took to the stage with a nearly flawless performance starting with the Robbie Williams song, 'Let Me Entertain You'.
Bruno told them: "Absolutely dazzling, you blew my mind! I thought I was at the Royal Variety already!"
Harry Moulding was next up, taking inspiration from Tom Cruise by jumping out of a plane as part of his latest trick - completing a skydive from 12,000 feet as he correctly guessed judges' cards.
"All I can say is Mission Accomplished!" joked Bruno at the impressive feat.
Finishing the night's final performances was 11-year-old rocker Olly Pearson, who was given a special message from Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson ahead of their guitar-shredding set.
However, Ant and Dec were forced to stall after a technical hitch meant the youngster's staging wasn't ready.
As the voting lines opened, viewers were treated to an appearance from KSI, who appeared as a replacement judge throughout the series, and Tom Grennan.
Britain's Got Talent is available to watch in full on ITVX.

Woody Allen without the zingers: Materialists reviewed
Celine Song's first film, the wonderful Past Lives (2023), earned two Oscar nominations. So expectations were riding high for Materialists. Perhaps way too high. And, yes, it's a letdown. It feels like an early Woody Allen but blunter, shallower, with no zingers, and a lead character that's hard to care about. Dakota Johnson is our lead, playing a matchmaker who has two dreamboats (Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal) vying for her hand and throughout I was thinking: I should have your problems, love. It's billed as a romcom but those who expect that will be disappointed. It's more an essay on modern dating. Johnson, whom we have forgiven for her horrible performance in that horrible adaptation of Persuasion – we don't hold grudges – is Lucy. She works for a swanky Manhattan dating agency called Adore (ugh) that deals exclusively with the rich elite. She sees marriage as a business transaction in which people are buyers or sellers. The montage of clients' demands and feedback from first dates – too fat, too short, too old, too balding, 'I would never swipe right on that' etc. – is fun but only one client gets any real attention. This is Sophie, a 39-year-old lawyer who fears dying alone. She is played by Zoë Winters who steals the film from under everybody despite it being a minor role. Lucy attends the wedding of one of her clients and here she meets Harry (Pascal, gliding into view in a way that put me in mind of Omar Sharif). He's a 'unicorn' – hot, rich, tall, full head of hair – but, what do you know? At the same event, serving as a 'cater waiter', is John (Chris Evans). He's her ex, an out of work actor who – a flashback informs us – she left because they were always broke. He still wants her but Harry also now wants her. I wondered why, as she comes across as neither interesting nor especially bright. Midway through there's an act of violence and she is forced to reflect on the nature of her work and you think, you've never reflected on that before? Wake up and smell the coffee, lady! As an exploration of the tension between love and money the film is surprisingly unsubtle from the word go. The opening scene involves a prehistoric cave couple – I thought I was in the wrong screen! – which even sets out the film's stall when it comes to marriage, albeit in a laughably clumsy way. Lucy, meanwhile, has the following dilemma on her hands. Should she be seduced by Harry's $12 million penthouse or return to broke John? (Harry! He has silk sheets!) This leads her to question whether we might be worth more than our 'tangible assets' but is that taking us anywhere new? What is new, I suppose, is how far people will go to 'add value' to themselves these days but that involves a surgical subplot that I can't go into as it would take us into spoiler territory. The characters feel like cinema characters rather than character characters. They have no friends, no family, no interests beyond the dating scene. The film is talky, with some sharp dialogue, but no fresh insights. A good actor has something going on behind the eyes that the audience wants to know about and I'm not sure I ever get that with Johnson. Evans and Pascal bring A-list pizazz but no chemistry is ever ignited. I only ever felt for Sophie whom the film abandons just as she's always been abandoned. Poor Sophie. And why does Lucy have to choose? Why not neither? Is this saying marriage is the pinnacle of a woman's achievement? It's lushly photographed and beautifully framed and it's not a nightmare to sit through but whereas Past Lives stayed with you, I can feel this leaving me already.

Celebrity SAS star Harry Clark breaks silence on axe after shock 'boozy brawl'
Traitors star Harry Clark has addressed his shock exit from Celebrity SAS despite his army past following reports he was involved in a boozy brawl at this year's Brit Awards Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins contestant Harry Clark has broken his silence after he was kicked off the hit Channel 4 show. Despite serving in the army, the Traitors star was given the boot for cheating. He has admitted he "hated" his time on the tough programme that sees stars put through their paces by ex-army officials. They must carry out a replica of the Special Air Services screening process, which aims to push their mental, emotional and physical strength to the limits. However, Harry, 24, was caught out by directing staff Billy Billingham and Jason Fox as he performed only 10 burpee exercises rather than the required 20. It comes after Channel 4 breaks silence after Gogglebox couple suddenly dumped from show. Harry made matters worse by lying about how many he had done. He was meant to complete the set before pulling a switch. The TV star's exit from the programme comes following reports Harry had a bust up at the Brit Awards earlier this year with a TikTok star. According to reports, the reality TV star had a 'drunken scuffle' with social media star Moe Osman at the awards ceremony in March. Speaking for the first time since his SAS axe and the brawl reports, Harry shared how he wanted to show viewers that he's changed. Addressing his cheating, he said: "Obviously I was so disheartened and so annoyed, but at the same time in the back of my head I was like, 'but it's all right though because I've made that switch, I'm here to stay'. 'I did exactly what I would do in the military. And that's what annoyed me so much because it was like I just hit that switch, but they'd kicked me off for it. 'So it was like, well then how can I prove to you now that I've changed?" Harry added to the Sun: 'But then at the same time, when I look back on it and I've matured a lot now, they've probably done me a favour because I know that the next big stage was the interrogation phase.' Harry admitted he "hated" taking part in the show and thought they "didn't like" him. He confessed it made him angry at the team and himself as he "wanted to get batter". This week, sources have claimed the alleged incident saw Harry retaliate after being "antagonised" by influencer Moe. A source told The Sun that Moe, who is known as Hellacreps online, and Harry clashed at the Brits. They said: "Harry is clearly really enjoying being able to attend amazing events like the Brits but at the event he and Moe clashed. It got physical. It was a drunken scuffle. There is never a fight at that sort of thing so everyone was really shocked.'

Susan Boyle proves she's an Oasis superfan after unexpected Liam Gallagher shoutout
Oasis have picked up an unlikely fan in Britain's Got Talent singing icon Susan Boyle as they dedicated a huge track to her at the last of their Scottish reunion shows Liam Gallagher made sure to dedicate Oasis hit Stand By Me to none other than Susan Boyle as they wrapped up their Scottish shows. The Britpop icons headed to Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium this weekend and last night as they performed to 210,000 fans. As they prepared to bid farewell to the Scottish capital, Liam revealed the band has an unexpected fan. He made sure to mention Britain's Got Talent star Susan before performing the 1997 hit. Liam quipped: "This one is for Susan Boyle," before he launched into the song. It comes after Paul Weller reveals the unusual reason he refuses to watch Oasis concerts. The clip of Liam's shoutout quickly went viral online as one said: "Wee SuBo getting a mention." Another added: "Hahaha Mon the Susan". Someone else commented: "He makes me laugh!!" It seemed Susan was more than impressed by the dedication from Liam as she shared a snap of her all kitted out in Oasis merchandise. The opera singer stood in her home and gave a thumbs up to the camera as she rocked an Oasis T-shirt and Liam Gallagher bucket hat. Alongside her post, Susan expressed her delight at the shoutout and revealed she'll be seeing Oasis soon. She said: "Thanks so much for the dedication @liamgallagher. You've made this old girl's day. Hope to see you and the rest of @oasis at Wembley in September for a wee bit of poznan. Big love to you all." The love for Susan didn't stop there as the official Oasis Instagram account shared snaps from the Edinburgh show on Tuesday and wrote: "THIS ONE'S FOR SUSAN BOYLE." Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now! A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time. This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show! Oasis' huge reunion tour is set to move onto Dublin next, followed by the US, Asia, Australasia and South America. Rumours have already started to emerge that the band could carry on playing into next year. Fans are hoping Oasis will return to Knebworth House next year as they mark the 30th anniversary of their two historic shows there. According to the Sun, Oasis has been offered four dates at Knebworth along with a possible residency at their beloved Manchester City's Etihad Stadium. Fake posters of a 2026 tour have already appeared online as fans hold out hope for a chance to see the brothers back in action. However, it all boils down to whether Liam and Noel are really up for carrying it on. 'They'll be having a well-earned holiday as soon as this tour finishes later this year,' a source told the publication. 'As for 2026, they've seen the speculation, they've heard about the offers and they know what the fans want. But it's ultimately up for them to decide." Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

Oasis' manager, Alec McKinlay, previously said that the current dates are the only ones that the band will be performing. He said in May: "This is very much the last time around, as Noel's made clear in the press. "It's a chance for fans who haven't seen the band to see them, or at least for some of them to. No, there's no plans for any new music." But Liam later hit out at the comments while replying to a fan on X, as he fumed: "Neither do I and the only people that will be making any kind of decisions on the future of OASIS will be ME n RKID [Noel] so let's just take it one day at a time."
