Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson has claimed that dance group Signature were the best reality contestants of the year.

Accepting the award for favourite reality contestant at last night's Digital Spy Reality TV Awards, the 15-year-old admitted that he had been impressed by the British Bhangra duo, who were runners up to him in last year's contest.

"If I wasn't [in the running for this award], I would probably have to say Signature [to win] because they are just the funniest two people you could ever meet and what they did was special," he explained.

Reflecting on his win, he said: "This is the first of its kind and I was not expecting to win it at all...No more of this first the worst business!"
