"Ant &amp;amp; Dec have claimed that Jai McDowall&amp;#039;s Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent win disproves fix claims about the show. The Scottish singer was the surprise victor on tonight&amp;#039;s BGT final, beating bookies&amp;#039; favourite Ronan Parke and boyband New Bounce to the \u00A3100,000 grand prize. Speaking on ITV2&amp;#039;s More Talent about McDowall&amp;#039;s victory, Dec said: &amp;quot;He was the dark horse of the competition. All the attention has been surrounding Ronan... It was a great semi-final performance and a great final performance, but a shock.&amp;quot; Ant commented: &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s a lovely-looking fella, a really nice guy, but I didn&amp;#039;t really like his song tonight. But he is a nice guy and the public go for that. They just go for nice people.&amp;quot; Dec said: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s amazing. Where we&amp;#039;re standing, you can see the pulse on the side of the contestants&amp;#039; necks. I can see how nervous they really are. I could see on Jai that he was going twenty to the dozen. It was a lovely moment [when he won].&amp;quot; Commenting on the well-publicised anonymous blog post earlier this week, which alleged that Ronan Parke was being groomed by Syco to win the show, Ant added: &amp;quot;It just proves that these shows are not a foregone conclusion. They say this person is dead certain to win or that Simon wants this person to win. They say it&amp;#039;s fixed. It&amp;#039;s not.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; Jai McDowall wins &amp;#039;Britain&amp;#039;s Got Talent&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Simon Cowell: &amp;#039;Ronan Parke fix is utter lie&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
