Who is the most successful Britain's Got Talent winner?

There is no obvious answer to which winner has had the most success after the show.

Paul Potts is among those who shot to fame after his performances, going on to release a chart-topping album, One Chance, as well as a 97-concert tour.

Diversity is another that has seen plenty of success after Britain's Got Talent.

The group, fronted by Ashley Banjo, has been on a number of tours and even supported Little Mix on their 2013 Salute Tour.

Ashley became a judge on Dancing On Ice and even stood in for Simon as a judge on BGT in 2020.

Ashley's brother Jordan, also in Diversity, appeared on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! in 2016 and has been on the KISS Breakfast Show.


How much is Ant and Dec's net worth each?


Other success stories include George Sampson, who went on to perform in the West End, release his own dance DVDs and appear in Emmerdale, and Collabro, who achieved a number one and number two album, as well as sold out shows across the world.
