Paul Potts
The first ever winner of Britain's Got Talent
Twelve years ago, over five million viewers tuned into the inaugural episode of Britain’s Got Talent to witness mobile salesman Paul Potts approach the microphone to perform his rendition of Nessun Dorma. A few weeks later, a record-breaking 12 million viewers watched as Paul was crowned the winner of Britain’s Got Talent. His audition of ‘Nessun Dorma’ remains one of the most-watched videos in YouTube history.
Paul appeared on America’s Got Talent: The Champions where he was voted through to the final by the general public.
