Britain's Got Talent's Viggo Venn pulls out of ITV appearance and 'silent' after win in final

Vigo Venn pulled out of a planned appearance on Lorraine on Tuesday, following his Britain's Got Talent win on Sunday, with him also noticeably silent on his social media accounts.

Without a doubt one of, if nor THE most talked about contestant on the latest series of the ITV show, Viggo received a huge reaction for his first audition, with Britain's Got Talent voting figures then revealing that he breezed through the live shows, topping the vote by some stretch in his semi, to make it through to the grand finale.

Performing towards the end of Sunday's broadcast. Viggo was given a great spot in the running order, helping him deliver a very memorable performance, which saw him don the hi-vis once again and even get Simon Cowell in on the act.

Going into the final, entertainer Viggo was second favourite to win with bookies, having leapfrogged young singer Malakai Boyah, to put him behind big tip to win, inspirational dancer Musa Motha.

Byut, in a shock turn of events that prompted boos from the audience, neither Malakai or Musa even made into the top three, as Viggo was crowned Britain's Got Talent winner for 2023.

No-one was more shocked by the result than Viggo himself, as some irate viewers flocked to Twitter to condemn the outcome and branding the show a 'joke.'

Unlike when he made it through the semi final, Viggo has been silent on Twitter after his TV victory, which will see him perform at this year's Royal Variety Performance.

And, his planned appearance on Tuesday's Lorraine didn't end up happening, with host Lorraine Kelly telling viewers at home: "Viggo Venn was supposed to be joining me in the studio this morning, but he's not feeling too chipper.

"But hopefully we'll see him later on."

As a clip of Viggo on BGT then played on screen, Lorraine added: "I mean, look at the energy of the man. He needs a wee rest!"
