Teacher Tom Ball, who works at a West Sussex School, won third place at last night's final of ITVs talent competition to find an act for the Royal Variety Performance.

Tom, who sang Conchita Wurst's Rise Like A Phoenix, received a second standing ovation from the judges in last night's final (June 5).

He went on to become a top 3 finalist, alongside Jamie Leahey and his chicken puppet and comedian Axel Blake.

Axel Blake was crowned the winner of the competition, with Tom coming in third. He addressed his supporters, saying:

"Thank you for picking up the phone, thank you for voting for me. I really can't believe it. It's more than I could have asked for.

"Back to school Tuesday, can't wait!"
