Watch: Sally shrieks as BGT winner Viggo Venb makes his entrance

Britain's Got Talent champion Viggo Venn was invited to the BBC Breakfast studio on Monday morning, for possibly the first and final time.

Earlier this month, the Norwegian comedian booked himself a slot in the next Royal Variety Performance — the first for King Charles III — as well as winning that eye-watering £250,000 cash prize.

Fast forward to now, and Viggo continues to share his high-vis freakiness around the UK.

Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were the latest presenters to be rendered flabbergasted by the comic's energy, as he jubilantly danced onto the BBC set to the tune of One More Time by Daft Punk. Nugent shrieked with surprise after the comic leapt out from behind their sofa.

"How many layers do you have?" asked Jon after Viggo whipped out his trademark vest from beneath a red tuxedo.

"My performance is very multilayered thank you," he smiled, before the presenter congratulated him on the "wonderful success" that was his BGT journey.

"Have you got your head round it? Because you looked really shocked when you won..."

"Yeah I was shocked, I was completely shocked," replied Viggo, abruptly turning his attention towards Jon's mug.

"Is it real coffee in there?" he said.

Wary of another crazy outburst, Jon confirmed it was indeed real coffee, but covered in confetti.

"You want more?" laughed Viggo, having reached into his pocket for more golden sprinkles.

Next minute the BGT star shot up from his seat to tear off his black trousers and reveal a matching pair of yellow pants, causing Sally to shriek.

Viggo proceeded to swing them in the air as the music kicked in once again, before plonking himself in the middle of the programme's exhausted hosts.

The Norwegian comic won the 2023 series of the ITV competition, scooping the £250,000 prize and a spot on the bill at the Royal Variety Performance.

He wowed judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli with his brand of comedy and was crowned the winner after receiving 22.5 per cent of the final votes, significantly more than the 10 rival acts.

But 116 people still complained to Ofcom about the final, and a spokesperson for the broadcasting watchdog confirmed to Yahoo that those complaints related to Venn’s win.
