Rotund tenor Paul Potts shot to fame in 2007 after he took a break from flogging mobile phones in Port Talbot to go and sing on Britain's Got Talent. His breathtaking performance of 'Nessun Dorma' left the nation lifting their collective jaw from the floor and eventually won him the ITV1 show crown. Since then, his debut LP One Chance has reached number one in 13 countries, he's met Oprah Winfrey, the Prime Minister and performed for the Queen at the Royal Variety. With his second album out next month, we caught up with Paul to find out how he's handling the fame.
Do you feel any added pressure after the overwhelming success of One Chance?
"I think there's extra pressure on any artist for their second album. With the first one, it's just about establishing yourself. I've had more time with this record. The first album was made very, very quickly. It was completed in just one week after the show. So it is fantastic to now have an album out that I've had a lot more time to plan and one that I have had more influence over."
