Magician Richard Jones, the first illusionist to win Britain’s Got Talent, has described his win as “unbelievable”. I salute you Fergus, thank you for everything you’ve done.” An overwhelmed Jones was asked how he felt by hosts Ant and Dec. “It’s unbelievable,” he said. Jones, who won a standing ovation from the judging panel and audience, thanked his family and those who had given him their support. To the strains of I Vow To Thee My Country, Jones enlisted judge Amanda Holden to sign a playing card which he tore and burned.
