PAUL Potts has certainly enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame. In a matter of months, he’s been transformed from a slightly tubby, mobile phone salesman with crooked teeth and debts to his name, into a world-famous opera star with hundreds of thousands of pounds in the bank and shiny new veneers to match his superstar status.

Therefore, it’s no surprise that many of his fans think he has left behind his former life in the small steel town of Port Talbot for a chic pad in London or a mansion in the country.

But that’s far from the case.

“Last night I was on my way back from a night out with friends in Cardiff and was walking through Port Talbot when two women came out of a pub and said to me, ‘You’re Paul Potts aren’t you?’” the tenor tells me.
