MAGICIAN HARRY MOULDING WAS A SURPRISE WINNER OF BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT, BUT NOW HE HAS REVEALED HE HAS BIG IDEAS ON THE FUTURE 20:00, 01 Jun 2025Updated 20:05, 01 Jun 2025 Magician Harry

Moulding has set his sights on landing his own TV show after he was a surprise winner of Britain's Got Talent 2025. The illusionist fell to his knees with joy as presenters Anthony

McPartlin and Declan Donnelly declared him champion, having been only the 5-1 third favourite to win with bookmakers beforehand. Speaking to the Mirror after his victory which saw him land a

£250,000 prize and a spot in the Royal Variety Performance, he seemed unlikely to let success go to his head. Asked how he would spend the money Harry said: "I cannot even think about

the money, I don’t have any extravagant plans to spend it yet. When I get back to Blackpool, I’m going to go to the chippy, get myself some fish and chips and just sit and take in everything

that’s happened. "Because right now, it doesn’t feel real. I’d like to be able to spend some of it on a holiday with my family, because they’ve been my rock. But I can’t even think of

the money, because I feel like I am still dreaming." He added: "I look at the likes of all of the other incredible magicians that have come before me and paved the way for

magicians in the world of entertainment and I hope to follow suit. The ultimate dream would be to have my own show." Harry also looked back on a pivotal moment at St Aiden's Church

of England High School growing up. He explained: "My love of magic started when I was 11-years-old when a magician came to my school to perform. Article continues below "I cannot

thank him enough because that day changed my life. The magic blew my mind and I would not stop talking about it. Although, my teachers probably wouldn’t thank him, because my magic caused

them headaches! "It was as far from Hogwarts as you could imagine! But I thought I was Harry Potter, and they would say I was more of a class clown. I used to get my cards confiscated

in class, because I constantly wanted to perform my magic tricks to school friends. I credit that day in school, seeing that magician perform, changed my life. "I also loved drama at

school, and I’m so thankful to my teachers who celebrated me for who I am, they’ve helped me to become the performer I can be today. I’m sorry to the teachers who had to deal with my magic

antics, but I hope they can see it was all worth it now." When Harry left school, he joined the cast of the Award-Winning House of Illusion Magic and Mystery Theatre Show in Spain.

Since then, he has performed in thousands of sold-out shows and returned to the UK to work on his act full time in 2022. Harry, 24, wowed the judges with his card trick act which featured a

video of him skydiving out of a plane. He was fast-tracked to the final after guest judge KSI hit the golden buzzer in the semi-final, which also saw him propose to his girlfriend. Harry

added: "The Judges have been nothing but amazing. When I won, we had the most incredible moment on stage where we all huddled together and jumped around the stage. It was like a bit of

a BGT Rugby scrum, where we just locked arms, and became the best ball of BGT chaos as we jumped around the stage. It was such a beautiful moment I got to share with them. As we bounced

around, each of them was saying the most amazing things." On the second part of his prize, he said: "To perform for the King will be such a great honour it means the absolute

world. He is a part of the inner Magic Circle, and so I cannot wait to show him my act. "I hope I will get to meet him so he can show me his infamous cup and ball routine that gained

him entry into The Magic Circle as I know he is the original sleight of hand pro. I hope I make His Majesty proud. "Even though I know the amount of pressure that comes with performing

for the King, above all this is the greatest honour I could ever imagine and such a dream come true." The final of Britain's Got Talent peaked at 4.8 million, down on the 5.2

million viewers who watched 2024's final. Dance group The Blackouts were this year's runners-up after performing a light show to hits by Robbie Williams and Take That. In third

place was nine-year-old gymnast Binita Chetry. Choral group Hear Our Voice, made up of people impacted by the Post Office scandal, were the bookies' favourites heading into the final,

but finished outside the top three. Article continues below _LIKE THIS STORY? FOR MORE OF THE LATEST SHOWBIZ NEWS AND GOSSIP, FOLLOW MIRROR CELEBS ON_ _TIKTOK__,_ _SNAPCHAT__,_
