Axel impressed judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams, the live ITV audience and viewers at home with his latest bout of quips and quick wit on Sunday night.
The talent show winner, who was Simon’s golden buzzer act, said: ‘I am shaking. It means the world to me. There are not even words to explain – I can’t believe it!’
When it was Axel’s time to shine during the grand finale, Simon’s feedback was drowned out by the rapturous cheers and applause.
‘I feel really emotional for you right now. It’s not just how brilliant you are, it’s how much I like you and how everyone likes you. I believe we have found a star,’ the Got Talent franchise founder said.
David added: ‘That was a winning performance in every way. You are a superstar.’
The series 15 runner-up was ventriloquist Jamie Leahey, who, accompanied by his confidante, chicken Chuck, wowed the judges with his latest, standing-ovation worthy performance.
The teen melted Ant’s heart and reduced Amanda to tears.

Of being runner-up, the 13-year-old told hosts Ant and Dec: ‘It’s amazing! I’d like to say thanks for all the support.’
Placing third was secondary school teacher Tom Ball, who garnered praise once more for his astonishing vocal ability.
‘I am dead Mr Ball! That was an unforgettable, unbelievable performance. If you are not at the London Palladium next year, I will eat my knickers!’ Amanda quipped.
David and Simon noted his thespian potential, telling him his voice could take him to the West End.
Tom said of his third place award: ‘This is more than I could’ve asked for. Back to school Tuesday, can’t wait!’
