Britain's Got Talent's voting figures exposed following Harry Moulding's win

Britain's Got Talent 2025 came to an end over the weekend, with Blackpool-based magician Harry Moulding announced as the winner
Britain's Got Talent 2025's voting figures have been revealed following magician Harry Moulding's win over the weekend. The Blackpool-based magician took to the stage earlier that night and impressed the panel of judges, including Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli, by correctly guessing which cards they had chosen out of a pack, while jumping out of a plane.
Reacting to his win on Saturday, Harry collapsed to the ground and screamed in excitement. He later told hosts Ant and Dec: "I can't believe what is going on. Thank you, thank you everyone so so much. I genuinely feel like everyone has been behind me. This has been the most incredible journey."


Harry won this year's competition by a huge percentage after beating 10 other finalists. Dance act Binita, eight, came in third place while The Blackouts narrowly missed out on winning by coming in second place.
The magician won with 27.1% of the votes, with second place act, The Blackouts, receiving 15.1% of the votes. Binita got 13.2% while Olly Pearson received 10.4%.
Joseph Charm came out with 9.3% and Jasmine Rice got 9.1%. Hear Our Voice received 7%, Vinnie McKee 4.7%, Han & Fran 3.6%, Ping Pong Pang 3.1%, and Stacey Leadbeatter came out with 2.8% of the votes.
Some BGT fans have expressed their disappointment at one act not being crowned the 2025 winner. Taking to social media, some viewers were certain dance group Blackouts were going to be awarded the top prize.
One said: "Robbed!!! Should have won!" Another added: "They should have won was the best act by far." Someone else commented: "They should have won."

The Blackouts were happy with second place as they said after the announcement: "Thank you so much, we feel so grateful for this journey. Thank you so much and congratulations. Well deserved."
Meanwhile, some fans branded Harry's win as "unfair" as he appeared to have longer on stage than some other acts. It is standard for acts to have a two minute slot to show their very best routine.
However, some viewers thought magician Harry and comedian Joseph Charm had longer than that. One said: "Not an undeserving winner but they need to look at levelling out the segment times next year so that all contestants have a fair chance."

Love Island star has unusual job working for famous footballer

EXCLUSIVE: Love Island's Harry Cooksley is one of the latest islander heading into the villa for the show's 12th series - and he's ready to shake things up both on and off the pitch Footballer and Declan Rice's body double Harry Cooksley is one of the latest bombshells heading into the Love Island villa for the show's 12th series - and he's ready to shake things up both on and off the pitch. The 30-year-old professional footballer is trading boots for swimming trunks this summer, swapping his time on the field - and behind the camera - for a shot at romance in the Majorcan villa. Cooksley, who once played in the US and across Europe, might be new to Love Island fans, but he's already brushed shoulders with some of England's biggest sporting names - quite literally. ‌ Speaking ahead of his Love Island debut, Cooksley revealed his unlikely connection to Arsenal and England star Declan Rice. ‌ 'Yeah, I spoke to Dec before I came out,' Harry said.. 'I'm sure he'll be fine - he's got the summer off now so he'll manage without me.' Why does Declan Rice need a body double? According to Harry, it's all about saving time for production crews. 'It's mainly for close-up shots when they don't have time with the actual players. So it's essentially my body on camera for those shots,' he explained. As for Rice's reaction to Harry's reality TV plans? 'He was happy for me. He just told me to be myself. He'll be supporting from the outside. He was excited.' Harry's appearance comes as Love Island Series 12 gets underway, with ITV promising more romance, drama, and late-night revelations than ever before. Viewers are already speculating who'll couple up, who'll be dumped — and who'll be sharing more than just a bed. ‌ With the show known for its steamy hideaway scenes, sex on TV remains one of the most hotly debated aspects of the series. When asked about the possibility of having sex on screen, Harry didn't dodge the question. 'I haven't spoken to my friends about it, but I did speak to my mum,' he said. 'She wasn't massively strict about it, but I'll try and be respectful. I'll keep her in mind - not in the moment - but in general.' ‌ Cooksley's thoughtful, self-aware approach might surprise those expecting the usual 'footballer bad boy' persona. But he insists he's not here to play games. 'I'd like to think I'm breaking that stereotype,' he said. 'I'm a bit older now. Sure, in my early 20s, I played the field a bit. Footballers do get a bad rap, and sometimes it's justified - but it doesn't apply to all of us. I've had my fun. Now I'm honest, I'm ready, and I want to find someone.' Whether or not he finds love under the Spanish sun, Harry's already proving to be one of the more intriguing contestants of the 2025 series - part pro athlete, part body double, and all in when it comes to romance. Love Island returns Monday, June 9 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Real Madrid agree deal for River Plate teenager Mastantuono

BUENOS AIRES, June 5 (Reuters) - Real Madrid have agreed to sign River Plate's young forward Franco Mastantuono for an initial fee of about $45 million, a spokesman for the Argentine club told Reuters on Thursday. The 17-year-old Mastantuono made his debut for River in January 2024 and is widely regarded by the local media as the latest prodigy to emerge from Argentine football. A talented left-footed finisher, he established himself as a starter under coach Marcelo Gallardo and soon became a key part of the Buenos Aires-based team. "The sale is settled, in the final talks it remains to agree on some details," a club source told Reuters, who gave no further information about the transfer. Mastantuono had been linked to other big European clubs such as Manchester United and Paris St Germain after attracting attention with a stunning free kick in River Plate's Superclasico win over Boca Juniors in April. River intend to keep the attacking midfielder on loan at the club until December to complete their Copa Libertadores campaign, according to local press reports. Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni recently called up Mastantuono for the first time for matches against Chile and Colombia in the South American qualifiers. He could become the youngest player to make his senior debut for Argentina.

Russell Martin's partner Lucy Pinder is former glamour model and is friends with Gary Lineker and his ex

Russell Martin's partner Lucy Pinder is former glamour model and is friends with Gary Lineker and his ex The former model will be cheering on her partner at Ibrox next season Martin and Pinder went public with their relationship last year (Image: Instagram: @pinderpix ) Russell Martin has been appointed as the new manager of Rangers, with the former Swansea City and Southampton boss signing a three-year deal to take charge at Ibrox. The 39-year-old former Scotland defender had a short stint at the club as a player in 2018 and has now returned as part of a new era for the Scottish giants, who were taken over by a US-based consortium last week. Martin is said to have been the "standout choice" to turn around the fortunes of the team after a disappointing season saw them end the campaign with no silverware. ‌ Joining the manager in Glasgow will be his girlfriend, former glamour model Lucy Pinder, with the couple going public with their relationship last year having dated since August. ‌ Pinder will likely be a familiar face to many football fans, having risen to international fame for her work in men's magazines - including FHM, Loaded and Nuts - during the 2000s. She was named as one of FHM's '100 Sexiest Women in the World' on three occasions, while she later moved into TV work, landing a presenting role on Nuts TV and appearing on reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother and Hell's Kitchen. The 41-year-old has also tried her hand at acting, starring in comedy horror film Strippers vs Werewolves in 2012 before appearing in made-for-television disaster flick Sharknado 5: Global Swarming five years later. Article continues below While she didn't quite make it to Hollywood herself, Pinder was previously rumoured to be dating Captain America star Chris Evans, having been seen enjoying a daytime date with the actor in January 2015. However, she has now found love with former Wycombe Wanderers and Norwich City defender Martin, who was sacked as Southampton manager in December. With Pinder a die-hard Saints fan, the couple were said to have "grown closer" during the manager's time at St Mary's, following his split from his wife Jasmine - with whom he shares three children - last year. ‌ The former glamour model revealed their relationship in August, sharing a photo of her and Martin in his hometown of Brighton - where he was receiving an honorary degree - on Instagram. When their relationship was revealed, a source told The Sun: "They're a match made in heaven - or at least in Southampton. They're mad for each other." Pinder is also close friends with Cardiff-born model and Gary Lineker's ex-wife Danielle Bux, with the two women recently sharing photos of a night of wine and games that was also attended by Martin and the former Match of the Day host. ‌ Bux - who was married to Lineker between 2009 and 2016 but has remained close friends with him since - posted pictures on Instagram of the evening with Lineker's son Harry, 31 and her daughter Ella Willis also in attendance. Lineker previously opened up about his relationship with Bux, telling The Mirror that they split up due to the fact that he didn't want any more children. "Danielle and I are best mates, we still speak three times a day, we text all the time," he said. "When she comes to London she stays with me, and when I go to Los Angeles I see her. Article continues below "It might be unusual and people might go, 'That's weird' but, frankly, I don't care. What is normal? Is it better to get divorced and end up fighting, screaming and shouting? Or is it better to get on if you can?"
