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’.

And: ‘Well I thought he was funny’.

With a fifth adding: ‘He makes me laugh’ and fifth wrote: ‘It made me laugh’.

A seventh happy viewer added: ‘Viggo Venn loved you on the Royal Variety you smashed it’.

It came after Simon Cowell, who introduced Viggo to the stage, was  compared to a ‘ventriloquist’s doll’ by one baffled viewer.

The music mogul, 63, left viewers were again bewildered by his very strange appearance.

Simon has previously denied having a face lift but admitted to regretting his extensive use of botox.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one user wrote: ‘Is it me, or does Simon Cowell look like a ventriloquist’s doll.’

Other viewers noted that with his red tinted glasses, Simon was akin to the 80s music legend George Michael.

One posted: ‘Simon Cowell has turned into George Michael,’ while another added: ‘George Michael Cowell.’

A third posted: ‘Wow Simon Cowell has turned into George Michael.’
