SEE VIDEO: Paul Potts wins Britain's Got Talent

Carphone Warehouse worker scoops £100,000

Paul Potts, Britain\'s Got Talent

Paul Potts, a Carphone Warehouse employee from Wales, has won the live final of Britain's Got Talent.

The singing salesman gave a brilliant performances of Nessun Dorma, impressing judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan - and most importantly, the viewers at home.

Piers recalled how they'd been shocked by Paul's amazing voice at his first audition.

'I don't think they were expecting very much,' Paul, 36, told Wales on Sunday. 'I'm a bit short and overweight and had a cheap old suit on. The hairdresser had used a number two on my hair instead of a four so it made me look a bit bald.

'But when I sang, I made sure I looked at the judges and I saw Simon Cowell's jaw drop. I knew then I must have done alright.'

Paul's thrilled by his win and says he 'just doesn't want that bus to stop'. He not only gets the £100,000 prize, he will now sing in front of the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance.

The guy's not handsome and he's not cheeky but boy, has he got talent. Listen to him again here...
