ITV Britain's Got Talent fans work out Phantom's identity after confusion left them agreeing with Simon Cowell

Axel Blake has been crowned the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2022 after a hilarious performance in last night’s final. The comedian competed against nine other talented acts, including young ventriloquist Jamie Leahey, rap and pianist duo Flintz & T4ylor, and singer Tom Ball.

Britain's Got Talent viewers got all emotional as they spotted a moment between one of the young acts and the judges during the live final. The ITV talent show came to a spectacular end on Sunday night (June 5) following a week of live semi-final shows.

Britain’s Got Talent fans have been left furious that the show is a “fix” after they discovered winner Axel Blake already had his own Amazon Prime show.The comedian shot to fame in the 2022 series of the ITV talent show as Simon Cowell’s golden buzzer act - but his win left fans with a sour taste as they suggested the judges already knew who they wanted to win.And some were left even more furious that Axel had already landed his own comedy special on Amazon Prime just two years before shooting to fame on BGT.His TV special I’m Not Gonna Lie was released on the premium streaming service in 2020, and was filmed at the O2 arena in London, at its indigo events space.The show’s official bio on the O2 website dubs Axel a “renowned name in the world of stand-up comedy and social media”, introducing his “headline show” which framed the former UNILAD presenter as a “champion comic and robust headliner” who had “solidified his place” on the scene.He has also starred in ITV special Pranksterz alongside the likes of Judi Love.And fuming fans were quick to call the move of casting someone already famous as the winner as unfair, taking to Twitter in their droves.One viewer fumed: “Why not tell us you had an amazon prime TV show Axel Blake you're ‘not gonna lie’?”As another said: “Axel Blake, while very funny, has already done a sold out shown at the O2 and an Amazon prime special!? I though BGT was about finding new talent?”“Axel Blake, very polished, just check out his website, IMDb entry, Amazon Prime show or his live tour dates… not a new act by a long shot, another ringer like Loren Allred, show is an absolute joke,” a third posted.While someone else echoed: “‘Think we have found a star’ how embarrassing that Simon Cowell doesn't

Simon Cowell and his incredible recent weight loss has certainly got tongues wagging - but how exactly did he shed all that extra timber?The Britain’s Got Talent and X Factor star has made a number of simple changes to his diet since a health scare in 2017.He was hospitalised with low blood sugar, which spurred him on to consult a weight loss professional.The music mogul was told to cut out foods including red meat, dairy, sugar, bread and gluten – and since then has never looked back, losing four stone in four years.

She wrote: “Everyone has different views on the monarchy, it’s not for everyone by any means.“But as Peter Hunt so clearly loathes the Royal Family, I’m at a loss to know why he wants to earn a living talking about them?” Followers and fans of the Channel 4 presenter then rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts on the subject. @Theimagebarn said: “Not sure if his comments come across as loathing to be honest. “I read the “long goodbye “ as the process to the unfortunate time when we have to say goodbye to Her Majesty.” Kirstie responded to the fan, politely disagreeing. She wrote: “I follow him, and the lack of positive comment is very notable.” On the same thread, in favour of the Queen, @Foxy_T86 penned: “If only everyone could be so grateful for what that wonderful woman has given for us all.” @BlessingMuseki commented: “Most journalists hate war, but they still make a living reporting about it.” Kirstie responded: “War and The Queen, not wildly comparable, but I take your point.” @Mattanddarren wrote: “It would be lovely if us British could celebrate what we do well, it’s been a fabulous celebration.” @Sarahlustne opined: “He’s in completely the wrong job! “Like Omid Scobie who calls himself a royal correspondent but only wants to talk about the Californians in glowing terms and be rude about everyone else.” Kirstie Allsopp is best known for starring and presenting Channel 4 shows such as Location.
