Thanks to ‘Doll’ for the submission:
BRITAIN’S Got Talent singing sensation Jamie Pugh has told how it’s NOT all over for him – despite what the judges said.
The pizza delivery man from Glan y Nant, Pengam, had been tipped as a possible winner of the TV contest, which was won at the weekend by street dance troupe Diversity.
But after reaching the semi-final, Jamie’s nerves got the better of him and no-nonsense judge Simon Cowell advised him that singing might not be the career for him.
Now, getting back to reality at home, the defiant dad of two has said unplugging the microphone is not on his agenda.
“It’s not over for me,” said the ex-RAF engineer, revealing how the experience of singing for millions on a TV show that had gone global had given him a huge confidence boost.
“That was like a window and people are still talking about my first audition. I know people want to hear me sing and I’ve got plenty in the pipeline.”
But Jamie, who sailed through the first round of the show by wowing a TV audience of millions with a moving performance of Bring Him Home from Les Miserables, is keeping to himself the finer details of his career plans.
But he revealed that he felt he knew what troubled Susan Boyle is now going through.
The show’s runner-up, who had been the hot favourite to win, was admitted to hospital earlier this week after the pressure became too much.
Although producers have been criticised for not helping her enough, Jamie, 38, says the team was more than supportive.
“It’s quite sad it came to that for her but everyone around us, including the production team, were there for us,” said the singer, who was pushed further into the media spotlight when it was revealed his beloved wife Tracey, the mother of his teenage son Callum, had died from a brain tumour 10 years ago.
“We only had to pick up the phone and they would come to see us, and I’m sure it was the same for her.
“But everyone deals with stress in different ways.
“It’s really sad and she is a lovely lady, and I hope she can come out of it and make the most of her opportunity.”
