In an emotional final episode, Colin Thackery became the oldest contestant ever to win BGT.

The 89-year-old pensioner beat off competition from illusionist X and Ben Hart, who came second and third, with a rendition of the song Love Changes Everything by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

He takes home a prize of 拢250,000 and a spot in the Royal Variety Performance for the Queen.

Speaking afterwards Colin said he was "absolutely astonished".

"It's incredible, I don't know what to say, I'm stuck for words for a change! Thank you very much, all of you, all the backing I've had."
