After months of electrifying performances and thrilling golden buzzer moments, it all came down to an epic finale as the winner of Britain’s Got Talent was crowned.
In the run-up to this year’s final, there have been five semi-finals, which saw 10 acts secure a spot in the final – all of whom were vying for BGT’s ultimate prize: £250,000 and a place on the bill of this year’s Royal Variety Performance.
The final saw The Hawkstone Farmers Choir, Celestial, poet Sonny Green, magician Rafferty Coope, singer Matty Juniosa, dog act Anastasiia & Salsa, dance group Sadeck Berrabah & LMA, magician Fabian Fox, fire-juggler Liwei Yang and comedian Ted Hill all return to the stage for a chance to win the show… but there could only be one champion.
After a night of special performances, it was revealed that The Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir was the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2026.
The singers follow in the footsteps of Harry Moulding who won the series last year, as well as Sydnie Christmas who won the show in 2024.
