I would love to update this site with the latest news from Jamie Pugh – the trouble is, I haven’t got any.

So I’m asking the readers of this site for help. Do you know what Jamie is doing now? Have you booked him to perform at your venue – would you like all the readers of this site to know about it?

Would Jamie himself, should he stumble across this site, like to tell us if he is planning a tour, a single, an album?

We’d love to hear from anyone with any news!

Jamie Pugh has today been talking to the South Wales Echo about what the future holds for him.

Although Jamie was fancied as a possible winner of the Britain’s Got Talent competition, he failed to make the final of the compeition after he suffered from his nerves in the semi final and Simon Cowell advised him that singing “might not be the career” for him.

Since returning home to Wales, Jamie had decided that he is going to continue to pursue his dream of becoming a singer.

“It’s not over for me,” he declared, adding that being able to perform in front of millions on TC had really boosted his confidence.

“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.”

However, for the time being Jamie is not revealing what his plans for the future are.

Whatever they are though, Jamie, all your fans here wish you luck with them.

Jamie Pugh is to try hypnosis in a bid to conquer his nerves, according to a report today in the Daily Mirror. Jamie is hoping to make it as a professional singer if he can only stop himself from being so nervous when he performs.

“But first I must find out what is making me so nervous. I’m hoping hypnosis will provide the answer. The judges didn’t see the real me,” he said.

Sadly, Jamie Pugh was unsuccessful in his attempt to get into the final of Britain’s Got Talent. He sang “The Impossible Dream” from Man of La Mancha and you can view his performance here:

Jamie did not receive enough of the public vote to finish in the top three and so was out of the competition.

Piers Morgan said that Jamie controlled his nerves well but didn’t perform as well as he had for his audtion. Amanda Holden, who buzzed during the performance, said that she didn’t feel comfortable watching him because he was so nervous. Simon Cowell told Jamie that his last note was very good but as an overall performance, it wasn’t good enough.

The dance troupe Flawless and singer Shaun Smith will go through to appear in the final on Saturday.

Jamie Pugh will appear in the second semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent tonight alongside DJ Talent, Mama Trish, Gareth Oliver, Shaun Smith, Flawless, Hot Honeys and Merlin Cadogan.

Good luck, Jamie! We hope you get into the final.

Jamie Pugh looked visibly emotional as the semi finaliats of Britain’s Got Talent were revealed on air last night.

As it was confirmed that he had made it to the semi finals, he coudn’t stop the tears of relief from flowing.

We all knew you’d make it to the semi finals, Jamie!

Piers Morgan has been talking about his favourite Britain’s Got Talent contestants in The Sun today. Of Jamie Pugh, he says: “He delivers pizzas at night, yet he sings like a star. We’re all very taken by him. He’s a great talent.”

Jamie Pugh, who was speaking exclusively to Wales On Sunday, has stated how he wanted to quit the show after he was called a liar. He even at one stage shaved off his beard so that he wouldn’t be recognised in the street.

Jamie overcame crippling stage fright to sing “Bring Him Home” from Les Miserables on Britain’s Got Talent. Before he sang, he told Simon Cowell that he’d never sung in front of a large audience.  However, a video emerged of Jamie’s appearance in a 2006 West End talent show as part of a group which sang a medley of Rod Stewart songs.

Jamie told Wales on Sunday how the accusation battered his fragile confidence and it was only the support of his girlfriend Donna that prevented him quitting the shoe.

Jamie said: “If I didn’t have Donna, I would have quit. She’s my everything. That story in the paper really hurt. I bring my children up to be honest and it was blazed across that I was a liar.

“I’ve never hidden the fact I was on that show. What people have to understand is I wasn’t on my own. I’ve never walked onto a stage on my own.”

“My life is a struggle but I have everybody I want close to me. I’m the man I’ve always wanted to be. Every morning I wake up wanting to be a good man, good partner and good worker. I’m confident in everything else apart from my singing. It’s one of the few things that cripples me because I’m giving you everything I’ve got. It’s personal for me. With singing, it’s the one time I can give you everything I’ve got. When I sing I feel it.”

Jamie’s partner of the last seven years, Donna, said that Jamie had reacted badly to the criticism.

She revealed: “He takes all this to heart. Last week was atrocious, heartbreaking. We thought about locking the door and not letting anybody in but you can’t do that.

“It was a personal attack on him and he thought everybody hated him.

“I told him that no matter what happens, he’s still going to be my partner, he’s still going to be a dad and work starts tomorrow. It would have consumed him and made him feel so low.

“It could have got to the point where he wouldn’t have been able to get back up again. To sing he has to feel it and he wouldn’t be able to do that if he was depressed and not worth anything.”

Jamie said that he has been coping with the pressures by staying close to his family and friends whilst preparing for the next stage of the competition on  May 23.

Jamie should take some comfort from the results of the poll on this website. In answer to the question:

Do you forgive Jamie his so-called fib?

42% of you replied that there was nothing to forgive, he didn’t fib. A further 40% said that yes, they forgave him, making a total of 82% of respondents who were still supporting him, including me!

So Jamie, we all wish you loads of luck for May 23rd!
