‘My Britain’s Got Talent win is a dream come true’
A magician who has been crowned Britain’s Got Talent winner after including a skydive in his final act has said it is “a dream come true” to come out on top.
Harry Moulding from Blackpool won the public vote on Saturday after showing his card trick that included jumping out of a plane.
The 24-year-old admitted he was “terrified of heights” and “I couldn’t think of anything crazier” than sky diving during the magic trick.
He said he “can’t wait” to perform in front of King Charles at the Royal Variety Performance and he hoped to involve him when he takes to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall in November.
He said the King was also a member of the Magic Circle, a British society for magicians, adding: “I’d absolutely love the opportunity to create some magic with him.”
Moulding, who described his hometown of Blackpool as “an entertainment capital”, also won a cash prize of £250,000 which he described as “surreal” and “life-changing”
He told BBC Radio Lancashire it had been a “whirlwind” since he was named the 2025 Britain’s Got Talent winner in the Hammersmith Apollo in London.
He said he had had “no expectations” of winning and had just focussed on his magic tricks.
“I just wanted to go there and enjoy every moment and just do my best,” he said.
“All my focus was put into making the act as big as possible and try and make it the best performance of my life.”
He said he was “so grateful to everyone who got behind me and believed in me” and he was “overwhelmed with the support and positivity.”
“I could never imagine I would be in this position – it really is a dream come true,” he added.
In his semi-final show Moulding was fast-tracked into the final after guest judge KSI pressed the golden buzzer for his show-stopping performance which ended with an audience member proposing to his girlfriend.
As well as his win, Moulding is looking forward to celebrating Harry and Jess’s wedding.
“They have sent me an invite. That is the best result ever.”
