He said "An amazing thank you to the most phenomenal person I have ever met, thank you Jennifer."

The win brings a record deal with Polydor so Mo will now head into the studio to record his music tracks.

The result wasn't the only drama of ITV's Sunday night final.

The stage invader held up a piece of paper for viewers to read but was moved on quickly by security.

A member of the ITV team said: "There was a brief interruption on stage, which was dealt with immediately by security.
