"Thanks to everyone who made sure I was alright. I felt in very good hands.”

The comedian has become a firm favourite on the show and bookies are expecting him to take the crown at the end of the series.

Lee suffers from the neurological condition cerebral palsy which means he is unable to speak, so he uses a voice synthesizer to complete his routines.

He has previously spoken about growing up with his condition and says he always tries to see the positives about it.

Speaking to the Sun about his BGT journey, Lee said: "My disability has certainly got me more coverage than I would have [without it]. Let’s hope they never find a cure for me!

"I like to think I’ve always seen the positives in my situation.

"If I didn’t laugh, I would most definitely cry. I’m not going to pretend that it’s always been easy, because it hasn’t.

"I used humour as a defence mechanism growing up – I experienced some negativity, but as long as I was laughing at myself, it meant that no one else could.

"That’s maybe why I can joke about it so much."
