Britain’s Got Talent’s Sheffield opera singer, busker and dad was heartbroken in the final tonight who said it was a ‘travesty’ the singer didn’t win the entire show.
Maxwell Thorpe had been hotly tipped by the bookies to win the competition but in the end he lost out to professional comedian Axel Blake in a moment that had fans of the show seething.
And now the Sheffield singer’s followers are all making a lot of noise to Simon Cowell, setting out their demands to the BGT judge and Sony’s Syco record label owner.

Simon Cowell had told Maxwell after his performance: “This is a big deal but it’s just your luck that any other year, you would have walked this, but there are genuinely 5 or 6 people in the running and I’ve no idea how it’s going to go.
“But well done for spending all that time preparing on the pavement, and I honestly think this is my favourite final I’ve ever judged.”
But in the end, Sheffield busker Maxwell didn’t even make it into the top three and it sparked furious demands from fans.
@You_bfsmith said: “That result could finish the show. The ‘winner’ wasn’t at all funny, what a travesty. How could Tom or Maxwell not win?”
Sean O’Donovan added: “I’ve seen a lot of acts over the years on BGT nd there’s not too many I can honestly say I would pay good money to see, but I can honestly say that for Maxwell Thorpe. What an amazing voice. Totally robbed. Good night.”
@JoshPittaway said: “Having only watched it sparingly, Maxwell not winning is a travesty in my opinion, his voice is like nothing I have heard before”
@78LG said: “Tom and Maxwell were absolutely robbed!! Axel didn’t make me laugh once, not in his audition, the semi finals or the final. Gutted for those two guys.”
@msunny said: “Every year I’m disappointed by the winner!! For me it was between Maxwell and Tom Ball, so when Maxwell didn’t make it through I thought it was the blatantly obvious choice for Tom to win. Such a let down. Some of the only ones to actually have talent on the show imo”
And viewers are making demands of Simon Cowell and his record label following Maxwell’s performance.
@copperpetals added: “I am raging! Cannot believe Maxwell Thorpe didn’t even make it final 3! @syco please sign him up! I’d pay good money to see him in concert !!!”
@Shaunx8 said: “Shocked and disappointed. I voted for Maxwell Thorpe and Tom Ball. They were the best acts by a mile. I hope a record company signs them both”
Axel Blade came first, followed by ventriloquist Jamie and his cheeky chicken and singer Tom Ball in third.
