Britain’s Got Talent winner Viggo Venn has revealed his next TV stint is on The Traitors alongside other ‘legends’.
The Norwegian comedian famous for his hi-visibility vests strode on stage to his signature One More Time by Daft Punk to take home the £250,000 prize during the talent competition earlier this month.
He’d won the hearts of those at home, as well as judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli.
And now it’s not long till he’s back on screens, but this time, it’s in Norway.
The 34-year-old will appear on the third season of the Norwegian version of the hit reality gameshow, Forraeder, which sees high-stakes challenges and intense mind-games as 22 contestants 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 insisted that he came into the Norwegian gameshow ‘the least famous’ but has become ‘a tad bit more visible’ after 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, not confirming whether he’ll play as a Traitor or a Faithful added that he ‘enjoyed his stay’ a lot, and admitted that ‘normally’ Norway is ‘really boring’, but ‘I think it’s the best 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 viewers may not be able to watch Vigo here, the BBC has since confirmed that The Traitors Australia will be able to view on BBC Three and iPlayer, from Sunday, July 9.
The Traitors is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
