The Britain’s Got Talent CHAMPION reveals Sh0cking Details about what happened behind the scenes of the Final that caused a Stir.
Britain’s Got Talent sensation Paul Potts has dished the dirt on what life was like behind the scenes at the contestant’s hotel. The opera singer, who wowed audiences and judges alike in 2007, opened up about his experience on the talent show and the camaraderie among contestants.
The BGT icon shared: “There were quite a few really strong acts like Damon Scott, who brought a lot of fun to the show. We actually had a real sense of community among us. The hotel we stayed in helped with that. It was a nice place to unwind, and we were lucky to have a good setup where we could relax after performing.”

Paul also revealed how the contestants would “support each other” throughout their time on the show, creating a supportive atmosphere within the hotel, reports the Daily Star.
Potts remarked: “There’s usually a really strong sense of camaraderie, because everyone’s in the same boat. For us, we were all staying at a hotel in North London, and we’d sit together watching the audition rounds and supporting each other.
“I’m sure that kind of bond still happens now. You might get one or two acts who are a bit more competitive and keep to themselves, but honestly, if you do that, you miss out on so much.”

Since clinching the title on the inaugural series of Britain’s Got Talent with his stunning performance of Nessun Dorma, Paul has become well-versed in the world of hotels during his subsequent tours.
In one instance, a pre-show mishap left him without an outfit due to a hotel mix-up: “I was really fortunate [when I was on the show] because they actually sent me to a West End tailor, and they made me a tuxedo.
“Unfortunately, it ended up getting shrunk by a hotel dry cleaner in New Zealand, not ideal! Buying off the peg has always been a bit awkward for me, not just because of my size, but because I’ve got quite short arms and leg so I usually have to get sleeves altered or I look like I’ve borrowed someone else’s suit.”
Paul recently blasted the Golden Buzzer rules on Britain’s Got Talent and called for them to be changed to make the competition fairer.
The famous Golden Buzzer can be pressed by a judge or host when they want a particular act to go straight through to the live shows, meaning they skip past the boot camp stage of the competition, automatically giving them a head start.
Saying it “takes the shine off the show”, the 53-year-old shared: “The more they put through on the Golden Buzzer, the less spots available in the semi-final, so it does take the shine off the Golden Buzzer a little bit..”
He continued in an interview with Sky Bingo: “It’s awkward for the judges because of course they haven’t seen all the acts, so they have to decide, do I use it now? Or do they end up giving it to someone who may not have deserved it as much. If it ends up being left to the last show, they might end up giving it to someone who may not have deserved it as much as someone else.
