BGT judge David Walliams sparks same complaint from viewers after grand final

ITV viewers took to Twitter to complain

BGT viewers all had the same complaint about David Walliams during the grand final.

Comedian Axel Blake was crowned the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2022 at the weekend.

The 33-year-old property maintenance manager, who was Simon Cowell’s golden buzzer choice, took home the £250,000 prize.

However, during the final, viewers found themselves distracted by judge David Walliams.

The upbeat judge had a hard time critiquing the acts. As a result, he ended up telling practically all of them that he wanted them to walk away with the crown.

Fans were annoyed by his flip-flopping, and took to Twitter to hit out at his refusal to pick a favourite.

“I think David has said that every act is going to win,” complained a third.

Meanwhile, ventriloquist Jamie Leahey and Chuck the chicken came second, while singer Tom Ball took third place.

Speaking following his win, Blake said: “Words can’t even explain. I am shaking. Thank you everyone for voting for me. It means the world to me.”

Meanwhile, some viewers were frustrated with Blake’s win after it emerged he’s already “made it”.
