Britain's Got Talent: Paul Potts wins! (VIDEO)

Opera singer Paul Potts has won the final of Britain's Got Talent, after wowing the judges and public with his singing voice.

The mobile phone salesman, from Port Talbot beat competition from five other acts to take the title at the end of the nine-day series.

He wins £100,000 as well as the chance to sing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance on December 3.

Potts sailed through the competition after singing Nessun Dorma, which he also sang in the final.

Other acts who took part in the final included puppeteer Damon Scott, dance troupe Kombat Breakers and six-year-old singer Connie Talbot

"I can't think of anybody that I would rather see represent this show in front of her Majesty The Queen than Paul Potts," Piers Morgan said after the result was announced.

"I'm so proud of you," said Simon Cowell, revealing that Paul would be in the recording studio making his debut album next week.

Potts, meanwhile, said he was "speechless".

Over two million votes were cast by the public, with a percentage of the money raised from phone calls going to charity.
