A 12-year-old girl with an IQ higher than Einstein was officially crowned the winner of Channel 4's Child Genius 2019 on Saturday.
Dubbed the 'human calculator,' Nishi Uggalle, from Manchester, lifted the trophy in the final after a mind-blowing performance in her specialist subjects - physics and black holes.
The Stephen Hawking superfan inspired viewers with her feminist attitude, and used her acceptance speech to celebrate women in science, technology, engineering and mathematic subjects.
'I was clapping when Nishi won,' enthused one viewer. 'So deserved, self-motivated and excellent,' while another added: 'I sat gobsmacked watching Nishi on Child Genius. She was wonderful. Well done to her.'
Nishi Uggalle, 12, from Manchester, was crowned Britain's brightest child last night and widely praised for her acceptance speech, in which she said she wanted to prove girls could do mathematics
She 'gobsmacked' viewers as she went head-to-head with fellow competitor William, 11 in a lightning buzzer round
Viewers said the Stephen Hawking was 'wonderful' and 'magic', after she took the Child Genius trophy
In the first round of the final last night, Nishi achieved an incredible score of 16 out of 20, and flew through to the head-to-head nail-biting finale.
Cheered on by her parents Neelanga and Shiromi, she competed against 11-year-old William Harwood.
It featured a quick fire buzzer round which included questions across an array of topics including science, mathematics and spelling.
While her competitor's were behind on a score of five, Nishi reached the vital 10 point-mark first by spelling the word Neurohypothesis - meaning she was crowned this year's Child Genius.
Nishi stunned viewers with her 'human calculator' style and lifted the trophy after dominating the final round of the competition
And she followed her win with an inspiring acceptance speech that touched heart's across the nation. Explaining her reason for entering the intelligence competition, the genius told the audience:
'It's been really incredible and William put up an incredible fight. One of the main reasons I entered myself in the competition was to show that there are a lot of stereotypes about girls not being able to do maths or physics for example,' she began. 'I'd like to show that that's not true at all.
And viewers were stunned by the little girl's attitude. 'You're a star and inspiration to all young girls!' one commended the youngster. 'Some of the other contestants could have learned from your humanity.'
Another simply penned: 'Bravo Nishi absolutely deserved. As you've proved - this girl can.'
Hundreds of children applied from across the UK, with a total of 19 appearing across the Channel 4 programme.
When Nishi initially put herself forward for the competition, her parents admitted: 'I don't think we call ourselves pushy parents simply because I think Nishi is the pushy one.'
But the determined youngster declared: 'I'm going to show girls they can win things and do anything they want to,' the young girl said as she started the process.
And she did just that as the well-deserved praise for the 12-year-old continued late into the evening.
Viewers were quick to praise the self-taught youngster, who is determined to prove that 'girls can win too'
'Awesome Nishi - well done - and a really positive message about women in STEM in your acceptance speech' penned one, while another wrote:
'Nishi is a star, doing it for the northerners and the girls and doing it off her own back. It was so refreshing to see her passion for physics. What a future she has ahead of her.'
The contest, open to children aged from eight to 12, has aired every night this week, culminating in the grand final with competitors challenged on spelling, maths, memory, vocabulary, geography and science.
Viewers praised her acceptance speech as a positive message for women working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
