Jamie Pugh – Britain’s Got Talent

The Sunday People have revealed a secret tragedy that Jamie Pugh kept hidden from the millions of viewers and judges of Britain’s Got Talent last night. His wife died from a brain tumour when she was just 27 years old.

Jamie Pugh’s friends have revealed that the former RAF engineer was “a broken man” 10 years ago when his wife Tracey died – leaving Jamie to bring up son, three year old Callum, alone.

The friend added: “It’s still tough for Jamie. He didn’t want to break down talking about Tracey on air.”

Jamie told his friends that he didn’t reveal his private heart ache because he didn’t want the “sympathy vote”.

However, now Jamie has a new love in his life, Donna Davies, 35 years old, who supported him through his audition for Britain’s Got Talent. And the two have a son together – Ethan, three. Jamie credits Donna with helping him beat the stage fright which has prevented him from reaching his potential in the past.

It has been revealed that Jamie failed the first round of auditions last year when he couldn’t even speak his name. But Donna put his name forward again and accompanied him to the auditions.

Jamie said: “Donna was the reason I had the courage to go for it. I am petrified of singing in public – my hands shake and I completely clam up. I thought the audience at the audition were going to throw tomatoes at me, so I was amazed with the response.”

Last night’s performance from Jamie was stunning and he is now truly in a position to challenge the supremacy of Susan Boyle. He said: “I want to try singing. I need to find out who I am and if I can do this for real.”

Jamie Pugh on Britain's Got Talent

Jamie Pugh could win Britain’s Got Talent, according to the producers at Britain’s Got Talent. They are claiming that he can challenge her supremacy in the competition after his performance of Bring Me Home on Saturday night.

Even though Jamie Pugh was terrified that his stage fright would make him falter, there was no sign of any trepidation in his performance, as he left the audience and the judges visibly stunned. According to the Daily Star, a source at the show said: “People have dismissed this as a one-horse race but Jamie proves this isn’t the case.

“He was incredibly nervous but has a fabulous voice. He gave a real tear jerking performance. Like Susan he’s just an ordinary person with an incredible talent.”

Jamie Pugh, a pizza delivery man from Wales, has overcome stage fright to wow the judges on TV talent show Britain’s Got Talent.

Like fellow competitor Susan Boyle, Jamie Pugh sang a song from Les Miserables and left the judges astounded by his performance of Bring Him Home.

Saturday’s auditions were held in Cardiff. However, Jamie Pugh waiting backstage was feeling really nervous. Incredibly nervous, in fact. He hadn’t slept properly for the three nights before his audition, and was concerned that his nerves would get the better of him.

Jamie, 37 years old and a pizza delivery man, explained: “I suffer from severe stage fright, it has totally crippled me, and I’ve come today to see if I can get through 3 minutes.”

It is difficult to sing when nervous, as nerves can constrict the throat leading to an uncontrollable warble. An uncontrolled warble would not impress the Britain’s Got Talent judges.

Jamie continued: “In the day time I work three days a week driving a van and in the evenings I deliver pizza. I’m just a simple bloke from the Valleys, but my dream is to sing at the Royal Variety in front of a live orchestra”.

However, Jamie’s biggest worry is his intense stage fright – he doesn’t want to walk out on stage and not be able to perform his best. With his partner Donna watching nervously from the audience, he hoped and prayed that he would be able to pull off the performance of his lifetime.

Fortunately, Jamie’s performance was stunning, emotional and without fault. The judges became entranced by his voice and the whole theatre gave him a standing ovation. The expression of joy and shock on Jamie’s face were reminiscent of the aftermath of Susan Boyle’s performance.

The judges were stunned. Amanda Holden said: “It is a beautiful song and that was amazing,” and Piers Morgan adding: “I wasn’t expecting that kind of performance from you. You deliver pizza’s at night for goodness sake and you come on this stage, one of the biggest talent shows in the world and do a performance like that, I thought it was incredible.”

Simon Cowell finished off the comments with: “I think I just got how important the last three minutes of your life just were, and to get the reaction you just got from the audience must be unbelievable. It’s people like you that are the reason why we come to Wales every year, I think you could be a special talent, but you have to start believing in yourself.”

Jamie, as he left the stage declared: “for this brief moment I feel complete”.
