Speaking of his win, he said: "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 for all the backing I've had."
The show featured a number of magic acts tonight, including the mysterious X who finally revealed their identity.
Marc Spelmann took off his mask following a magic act that involved the whole live audience to reveal that he had returned.
Marc was previously Ant and Dec's Golden Buzzer act, but failed to make it through to the finale so came back as an anonymous act to achieve his dream.
The show's viewers also noticed former X Factor judge Cheryl in the audience.

She looked shocked as danger stunt act Jonathan Goodwin was chained up and put in a box before burying himself under a tonne of gravel.
Despite some worried looks from the security team, he managed to free himself in the nick of time.
Former BGT winners Diversity returned to perform, a whopping 10 years after their win.
Their runner up Susan Boyle also came back and performed a duet with Michael Ball, and said how "surreal" it was to be back on the stage.
Ant and Dec added that Susan was set to return later in the year for the special show, Britian's Got Talent: The Champions where former contestants would be competing once again.
