Classic pianist Tokio Myers has been crowned the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2017.

YAY!

In the show’s final last night, we could barely tear ourselves away as the star bagged the title and beat his fellow finalist and child magician, Issy Simpson.

While Issy’s magic tricks blew the judges away, Tokio’s final performance moved viewers to tears with his rendition of Rag n Bone Man’s track Human.

Tokio quickly thanked fans on Twitter for their ongoing support and expressed his obvious excitement, writing, “WORDS AREN'T ENOUGH!!!! THE BIGGEST THANK YOU YOU CAN POSSIBLY IMAGINE!!!!”

YOU’RE WELCOME, MATE.

The 32-year-old musician has previously supported stars including Kanye West and Amy Winehouse, who he described as his ‘big sister’, on tour.

Talking about the late singer, Tokio told The Mirror, “I was totally in awe of her and I could hardly speak to her at first. But she was really sweet and lovely, like a big sister, and would always come up to me and give me a big hug.

“I think she saw something in me, something unique. But she also said: ‘Stay humble and keep being you’, and that’s in my DNA now.”

Congratulations, Tokio!!!
