“Most people don’t know I even sing,” said Jamie. He added: “I’ve kept it very quiet.

“Only close people know that I sing.”

Philip Schofield suggested that Jamie would need to have “nerves of steel” to sing Bring Him Home from Les Miserables on National TV.

“It is that song Bring Him Home. I was lucky enough to see the musical as a child. The music is phenomenal.”

Philip suggested to Jamie that he must have been “quaking in his boots” when he had to hold the last note of the song. “That’s the bit of the song I fear the most,” said Jamie. “Because you know it’s coming.

“Anyone who knows the song know’s it’s the money note.”

Jamie Pugh admitted that he used to show off as a child, singing and dancing to Michael Jackson songs. Philip asked why he had become so shy and nervous since that time.

“As you grow older, you start to think about things more, you start to overthink,” Jamie explained.

Philip asked Jamie how he will be if he wins and has to appear in front of the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance.

“To be honest, I don’t really think about that, I have to cross each bridge as I come to it,” he replied.

We’re right behind you Jamie!
