The winner told the audience: “I have been blown away by the support of the judges and the general public. I have got so much love from everyone and I am really grateful for it all.

“I am very excited to perform for The Queen. I have loved her since she sang Bohemian Rhapsody,” he quipped.

Right from the start of the competition, Lost Voice Guy has impressed and entertained with his comedy routines, spoken entirely through an iPad app after cerebral palsy, caused him to lose his voice from a young age.

The judges then went on the stage to congratulate the comedian, and Simon Cowell also took the time to pay tribute to Declan Donnelly for hosting the live shows on his own the past week.

Cowell said: "I want to say to you Dec, you have done an outstanding job this week. Thank you."
