The Britain’s Got Talent final was the most-watched TV programme on
Saturday night, with five million more viewers than its closest
competitor.
The ITV1 reality series culminated with pianist Tokio Myers, 32,
being crowned the champion, winning the opportunity to perform at the
Royal Variety Performance and a £250,000 prize.
An average of 8.2 million viewers watched the finale when it aired from 7.30pm until 10:05pm, according to overnight data.
The audience peaked at 10.2 million in the final minutes of the show as Myers was revealed as the winner.
BBC1 drama Casualty was the second most-watched show of the evening, with 3.2 million viewers.
Nearly half – 46% – of all TV viewers in the 16-34 demographic watched Britain’s Got Talent (BGT).
Myers impressed the audience and judges with a performance that
included drumming as well as piano, and spanned various styles of music.
The judges were unanimous in their praise for him, andmembers of the
Diversity dance troupe – winners of BGT in 2009 – added their support,
calling him “the most talented person ever to have been on the show”.
