Viggo Venn, the winner of Britain’s Got Talent, has stated that his next TV appearance will be on The Traitors, with other “legends.”
The Norwegian comedian known for his high-visibility vests stepped on stage to his iconic One More Time by Daft Punk to win the £250,000 prize earlier this month at the talent competition.
He’d wowed the audience as well as judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli.
And now he’ll be back on the big screen soon, but this time in Norway.
The 34-year-old will join in the third season of Forraeder, the Norwegian version of the hit reality programme that features high-stakes tasks and challenging mind-games as 22 competitors are ‘banished’ or’murdered’ as Faithfuls or Traitors.
In a statement to Metro.co.uk, Viggo confirmed: ‘I am in season three of Traitors Norway, Forraeder, together with former Chelsea goalkeeper Frode Grodas and other Norwegian legends!’
He argued that he was “the least famous” when he entered the Norwegian game show, but said he had become “a wee bit more public” since winning Britain’s Got Talent.
Viggo continued: ‘They took a chance on me when I was doing the Stand Up open mic circuit to 14 people above pubs in London.
‘It was taped in April before Britain’s Got Talent aired, so they had no idea (and neither did I!)’
He joked: ‘Luckily I was ready to be more visible, so naturally I was already wearing my Hi Vis!’
Viggo, who has yet to clarify whether he would portray a Traitor or a Faithful, said he ‘enjoyed his visit’ and conceded that ‘usually’ Norway is’really dull,’ but ‘I think it’s the finest reality cast ever on Norwegian TV’.
He added: ‘I can confirm that I went straight back to the UK immediately after. This is were I live, because I enjoy the British sense of humour. That’s why I am going on a UK tour starting this Autumn!’
While UK fans may not be able to watch Vigo here, the BBC has stated that The Traitors Australia will be available on BBC Three and iPlayer beginning on Sunday, July 9.
The Traitors is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
