London, May 04: Britain’s Got Talent star Jamie Pugh has in an interview revealed that just the thought of winning the TV contest leaves him quaking in his shoes.
Pugh, 38, who is a pizza deliveryman, panicked before his audition and wanted to walk out, but his loyal partner Donna Davies, 35, persuaded him to stay.
“I wanted to go home,” a news website quoted him as saying.
“I didn’t sleep for three days before and I’m now on 40 fags a day.
“This is going to sound really weird – I fear success but I don’t fear failure. I’ve failed at a lot of things and I fear success because I’m Jamie. I’ve got to appear on a TV show and I’m dreading it.
“I’m a wreck – I’m not a star,” he exclaimed.
More than 12 million viewers saw the South Wales valleys singer stun judge Simon Cowell and earn a standing ovation with a spellbinding version of Bring Him Home from Les Miserables.
“If you had asked me to sing any other song I wouldn’t be able to, because I don’t know many songs,” Jamie said.
“But Bring Him Home comes from my heart. It’s about what I might have lost through choices I’ve made.
“Believe me – if I’d not sung that song I would have gone to pieces,” he added.
