‘Britain’s Got Talent’ Winners Ranked

Thousands of people have auditioned for “Britain’s Got Talent” over the years, but only 16 acts have had what it takes to pull off wins. From initial champ Paul Potts to latest victor Viggo Venn, a varied range of performers have impressed “BGT” viewers and judges enough to have their amateur artistry deemed the best of the year. Of course, all were worthy of their success, but some acts are naturally more outstanding than others. Check out our photo gallery to see our ranking of these 16 winners from worst to best.

“Britain’s Got Talent” aired its first season in June 2007. Aside from a delay in 2020 and a pause in 2021, the show has been a spring tradition that attracts millions of UK viewers and even often receives international attention. Since the beginning, it has been hosted by comedians Ant & Dec and judged by Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden. Judge Alesha Dixon has been on the panel since 2012, while Bruno Tonioli joined in 2023.

In order to win, a “BGT” contestant must first successfully audition for the judges, who later decide whether they are worthy of a spot in the semifinals. If they receive a Golden Buzzer from a judge or host during their audition, they automatically advance. They must then receive enough viewer or judge votes after their semifinal performance to make it to the finals. They must then depend solely on the public vote to secure a £250,000 cash prize and a chance to showcase their talent during the annual Royal Variety Performance.
