Paul Potts Wins Britain's Got Talent

For a change here is a new celebrity, heading for the big time, and one with real talent. The man is Paul Potts who last night won the UK television show Britain's Got Talent.

Now Paul Potts is no glamour figure, he's an ordinary bloke who can sing. Some say he's good enough to rival Pavarotti. Last night he sang Nessun Dorma and in doing so won £100.000 ($200,000) and a place in the line up for the Royal Variety Performance.

Paul Potts is on his way to a record deal, no doubt with Simon Cowell, and will go on to make millions.

Paul is, or rather was, a 26 year old mobile phone salesman. He has been on the fringes of the operatic world but never quite made it. He racked up huge credit card debts when attending a master class with the great man himself, Luciano Pavarotti. His money worries are now over.

Simon Cowell said, "Paul is a normal guy, a great talent and came in as an underdog. He gave one of the most incredible auditions I have ever seen."
