Britain's Got Talent will make its long-awaited return to screens on Saturday for a brand new series, with a new lineup of hopefuls battling it out to impress the judging panel. As well as the £250,000 prize money and a coveted spot on the Royal Variety Performance, the performers will no doubt be hoping to follow on from the success of over a decade of past winners. From panto and podcasting to TV judging and their very own films, the previous victors have enjoyed varying levels of fame and success since being crowned the winner.

On April 15, Britain's Got Talent is set to return to screens for the 2023 series, with a dazzling lineup of hopefuls competing to impress the judges. The performers will no doubt be hoping to build on the success of previous winners before them, as well as the £250,000 draw and a coveted spot on the Royal Variety Performance. But where are all the former Britain's Got Talent champions now?
