Royal Variety Performance viewers were left divided by Viggo Venn as he took to the stage to entertain the Prince and Princess of Wales at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Sunday.
The kooky comedian, 34, bagged his place on the bill alongside the likes of Hannah Waddingham and Cher after his controversial Britain’s Got Talent win back in June.
Some viewers even used the hashtag #CancelBGT at the time as they took to Twitter to criticise the results of the public vote.
But now back on stage and decked out in his high vis, Viggo performed his own unique style of comedy and crowned a random audience member ‘King Charles’ as he presented him a golden jacket.
Viewers at home were left well and truly divided while some claimed the Norwegian comedian ‘hysterical’ others branded him a ‘cringeworthy embarrassment’.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one furious fan said he ‘made a mockery of both BGT and the Royal Variety’.
