Britain's Got Talent's Viggo Venn makes huge career announcement after 'controversial' win

Viggo Venn has dropped some huge career news, announcing a nationwide tour for layer this year and into 2024, less than two weeks after clinching a rather controversial win on Britain's Got Talent.

Earlier this month, madcap entertainer Viggo, having gained momentum with the bookies as the new series went on, defeated some other hotly tipped acts, including red hot favourite Musa Mutha, to take the title, much to the shock of many people in the studio audience and viewers at home.

Many BGT fans hit out at the result, branding it a 'joke,' while others described Viggo as a 'real breath of air' and argued that he saved an otherwise boring grand final.

Well now, those who loved watching Viggo on Britain's Got Talent, will have a chance to see him in the flesh, as the new champion is hitting the road with his own live show, British Comedian. The tour will kick off in Milton Keynes in October, with the dates including gigs in London, Sheffield, Brighton and at Newcastle's Tyne Theatre on February 2, 2024. Tickets are on sale now from Seetickets.

Talking about his tour, Viggo said: "“I have been receiving thousands of videos on Instagram from young and old dancing around in hi vis vests and nothing makes me happier! So excited to bring a show full of fun, quirkiness and surprises for everyone! Can’t wait to meet people and go on a highly visible UK tour! (I will bring Viggo-vests with me, if you forget yours!)"
