The van driver from Croydon was speechless as host Dermot O'Leary revealed he had won the 11th series of the ITV talent show.
The climax of the show was hailed as one of the "closest ever finals" by show boss Simon Cowell who was mentor to both finalists.
Fleur, 26, missed out on winning the coveted prize of a £1 million recording contract after receiving the least amount of votes from the public.
The result came despite Simon hailing her performance of Uptown Funk “one of the greatest performances he’d ever seen”.
After finding out the result, Ben said: "I can't believe it. Thank you so much for making my dreams come true.
"There's been so many amazing talent like Fleur in this competition you never think you'll make it this far."
Simon added: “I could not be happier for you Ben. You’re a great guy and I’m so proud.”
Fleur was gracious in defeat, adding: “I’m so grateful and I love Ben so much, I’m so happy for him.”
