Acrobatic act Spelbound were jumping for joy tonight after winning the final of Britain's Got Talent.
The gymnast group wowed the reality show's judges and were hailed by Simon Cowell as the "most astonishing" thing he has seen on live television.
Spelbound, who were the bookies' favourites for success, secured the public vote with a routine involving one of the dancers being launched over judge Amanda Holden.
The group fought off competition from an 81-year-old chanteuse and a 13-year-old drummer to take home the £100,000 prize and secure the chance to show off their skills at the Royal Variety Performance.
Simon Cowell said voters were "absolutely" right to vote Spelbound as winners. London dance duo Twist and Pulse and Kieran Gaffney also featured in the final three.
Spelbound, heralding from Ashford, Middlesex, is made up of Adam McAssey, 20, Adam Buckingham, 21, Alex Uttley, 24, Jonathan Stranks, 15, Douglas Fordyce, 19, Edward Upcott, 18, Nicholas Illingworth, 24, Katie Axten, 17, Leighanne Cowler, 18, Lauren Kemp, 17, Hollianne Wood, 13, Abigail Ralph, 15, and Amy Mackenzie, 12.
After watching the scantily-clad group perform to the soundtrack Carmina Burana, the judges queued up to pay tribute to the act.
Piers Morgan said the purpose of the show was to unearth hidden gems and added: "You are that talent."
Holden added: "We are hosting the Olympics games and I can only think 'what a brilliant opening act'."
Cowell said they were worth a "gold medal" at the games, adding: "I can only say on live television that that was one of the most astonishing things I have ever seen. Seriously."
