    Britain's Got Talent has received over 100 Ofcom complaints from disgruntled viewers following the show's grand final.

    The media watchdog confirmed that 116 complaints had been issued from viewers about this year's final last Sunday (June 4), when Norwegian comedian Viggo Venn was crowned winner.

    Ofcom also revealed that an additional 69 complaints had been made following the episode on Tuesday (May 30).

    It's clear not everybody was happy to hear that Viggo had won the talent show, because audible boos could be heard from the crowd when hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly announced the 16th show champ.

    Viggo beat out stiff competition from young magician Cillian O'Connor and dancer Lillianna.

    And the comic in the high-vis jacket got himself into trouble when he accidentally swore while live on air during his performance.

    The bad language forced Ant and Dec to issue an apology to viewers watching at home.

    Viggo was performing with a huge red balloon on stage, but when it popped, things appeared to take a tense turn.

    A distressed Viggo could then be heard saying "oh s**t", before asking Ant and Dec: "Is this live?"

    Judges Simon Cowell., Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli seemed delighted with the news that Viggo won.
