Paul Potts, winner of ITV’s Britain’s got Talent has signed a £1m multi-album record deal with judge Simon Cowell.
Paul continues to go from strength to strength after his sensational victory on the Sunday night finale of hit ITV show Britain’s got Talent by signing his first record deal, just a few weeks removed from selling mobile phones at the Carphone warehouse.
It is a multi album deal with Simon Cowell’s Syco label for a cool £1 million. Paul is due to start recording on Thursday during a tour of the USA.
Included on the album are thought to be a string of classic opera hits including his rendition of Nessun Dorma – performed in both the auditions and the final, though there is no word yet on whether his excellent semi-final performance of Time to Say Goodbye will be included.
As part of his appearances on US TV Paul will be performing on the Today Show for NBC from the top of the Rockefeller Plaza.
If all this wasn’t enough Paul also has some work to do when he arrives home, as he has caught the eye of welsh opera star Katherine Jenkins, and has agreed to perform with her at a festival in Wales.
