From salesman to superstar in 7 days
In seven days, 36-year-old British man Potts went from selling mobile phones to winning Britain's Got Talent and signing a one million pound ($2.4 million) record deal. His debut rendition of Puccini's famous "Nessun Dorma" was not quite Pavarotti, yet there was something about the portly man from South Wales with his crooked teeth and hard luck story that made him an instant sensation. Within hours of his performance, millions of internet users had started clicking on to see him on YouTube. Potts is in Australia this week as part of a world tour to promote his first album, which has already hit the number one spot in Britain and across much of Europe.
