Britain's Got Talent: Another 'Star' is Born - Jamie Pugh

Britain's Got Talent has discovered yet another unknown singing sensation this past week. Thirty-seven year old pizza delivery driver Jamie Pugh of Blackwood, Glamorgan is proving that this will not be a 'one-horse race.'

I can see him and Susan Boyle going on tour together in the near future, can't you?

The aspiring singer wowed the panel with a rendition of Les Miserables number 'Bring Him Home'. Despite warning that he suffers from "severe stage fright", Pugh showed no signs of nerves during the audition.

At the time he sang, Pugh did not reveal any details of his sad past, not wanting to get a 'sympathy vote.' "It hurt more than anyone can imagine. It was unbearable. I was 29."

He hid the tragedy that struck 10 years ago – the death of his beloved wife Tracey, the mother of their three-year-old son Callum – from all who watched the show in an attempt to avoid the “sympathy vote”.

Jamie, that's just not possible, when you got it, you got it!

Thanks for commenting CJ, I felt the same way. I think he could actually beat Susan Boyle if he nails other songs the way he has 'Bring Him Home.'

I now see a Jamie Pugh Fan Club and Facebook Group started. Good Stuff!

Hi, I'd like to know if is there some way to get to Jamie Pugh's email or some kind of contact so that I can congratulate him in the name of his fans in Brazil. Thank you.
