Dance group The Blackouts were this year's runners-up after performing a light show to hits by Robbie Williams and Take That.
In third place was nine-year-old gymnast Binita Chetry.
Choral group Hear Our Voice, made up of people impacted by the Post Office scandal, were the bookies' favourites heading into the final, but finished outside the top three.
The programme, which was broadcast live from the Hammersmith Apollo after a week of five semi-finals, also saw performances from singer Stacey Leadbeatter, dance group Ping Pong Pang and guitarist Olly Pearson.
A wildcard act introduced into the live final was revealed to be singers Han & Fran, who performed an Abba medley.

BGT boss Simon Cowell, 65, desperately tried to persuade Bruno to stay but, due to scheduling clashes with his Dancing With The Stars work in the US, the pair could not make it work. A source said: 'Bruno has officially quit Britain's Got Talent and they are hoping that KSI will replace him. 'He absolutely loved being on the panel with Simon, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden but Bruno just can't juggle his schedule with filming. 'There is no bad blood and Bruno is leaving with a smile on his face. 'KSI, who was a replacement for Bruno on shows he missed last year, is in talks about coming on board full time.' The Sun revealed earlier this month that Bruno was on the cusp of stepping down because his schedule meant he could not film auditions in Blackpool and Birmingham this autumn. KSI, 32, was a huge hit with viewers when he stepped in for Bruno during last year's Blackpool auditions and made a guest appearance during the live semi-finals. Bruno Tonioli set to QUIT Britain's Got Talent judging gig as two favourites to replace him revealed The Sun exclusively revealed last month that there was a shake-up in the filming for the next series, which would split the auditions between Blackpool and Birmingham. The live semi-finals, which account for the second half of the newly-lengthened series, will still be filmed in London. Speaking about the acts who appeared on this year's final in May, which was won by magician Harry Moulding, Bruno said: 'The standard was incredible. 'I feel like I'm not even judging, I'm commenting from my heart. 'I know how hard it is to perform in front of an audience.' The next series of BGT is scheduled to air on ITV next April.

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Lexi Hughes with her mum, Amanda Holden Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 4 Lexi went Instagram official with boyfriend Credit: Instagram 4 The TV family are currently on holiday in Greece Credit: noholdenback/Instagram The model and content creator wore a yellow bikini as she lay back on the bow of the boat and her unnamed boyfriend leaned over her to kiss her. "Vitamin D and a little PDA," Lexi captioned the Instagram post. She was inundated with comments, including from Britain's Got Talent judge mum, who posted a love-heart eye emoji in reply to the photo. Another person commented: "oh get it get it." "HELLO," added another. Before their trip, Lexi and Amanda, 54, were recently spotted in Wimbledon looking glamourous while watching the tennis on Centre Court. The Britain's Got Talent judge put on a stunning display in a yellow sleeveless dress and giant sunglasses. Lexi wore a white crop top and pinstripe trousers, accessorising with mirrored shades. While Lexi is often compared to her TV mum, Amanda revealed that her oldest daughter finds it embarrassing when people compare them. 'I think they find it a bit embarrassing,' Amanda told The Sun's Fabulous magazine in April. Amanda beams with joy as Lexi finishes school 'Lexi said that there are a lot of people at uni who make cheeky comments, which I find very flattering. 'Hollie doesn't really give a damn. But I do have to walk behind her. She doesn't want anyone to know I'm her mother!' Amanda also admitted to struggling with the fact Lexi has flown the nest and is now at university. 'I miss her like crazy and it's really weird sitting down to a family meal with just the three of us. The house does feel a bit empty, so I'm just gradually filling it up with more pets," Amanda said. "We've recently rescued a dog from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and I'm planning to rescue another one in September. We've also got a cat and another dog.' Amanda is realistic about her daughters getting older and is proud of how Lexi, who also works as a model for the agency Storm, has embraced her next chapter. 'I do miss her but, at the same time, it's really nice seeing her become a little bit more independent,' she explains. 'She's all loved-up. She's got good friends and I like her strong morals.'

Jeff Brazier delivers update on relationship with son Freddy amid family feud
TV presenter Jeff Brazier gave Loose Women viewers an insight into his relationship with son Freddy after the 20-year-old's recent difficulties. Earlier this year, the youngster was said to have left the family home to move in with his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden, while in June, he said that he was heading to rehab in Spain after becoming addicted to "smoking". Now on Loose Women, dad Jeff has updated fans on how the father-son pair are doing. Speaking about his upcoming role in 101 Dalmations: the Musical, Jeff said that Freddie is "eager" to watch him on stage. When asked whether his older son, EastEnders star Bobby, had given him acting advice, Jeff said: "He's been a bit casual about it. I was with both the lads yesterday and Freddie is showing more eagerness to come and watch. "Bobby is going to come soon and no doubt there will be a critique that follows. He does trust me, I think he's always admired the fact that I chuck myself in. Whether that's a good idea or not, it soon follows doesn't it?" Jeff is making his musical debut in 101 Dalmations: The Musical, starring alongside JLS singer Aston Merrygold and Britain's Got Talent winner Sydnie Christmas.
