BGT WINNER sequence + Paul Potts high quality video/sound
It was as if the tension would never end - but finally, eventually, painfully... Dec announced Paul Potts as the Britain's Got Talent winner.
It was a moment where futures were made and dreams were dashed. But even though every one of the performers here has an outstanding talent, only one could scoop the big prize tonight.
Two million votes were cast by the British public. For the big winner, welshman Paul Potts, tonight starts a week of newspaper interviews, magazine features and TV appearances. Life won't be quite the same ever again.
As Ant and Dec congratulated the singer - or was that held him up - he told them - "I can't believe I've won it - I'm like jelly. Performing for the Quen means absolutely everything. Thank you for believing in me".
The man Simon Cowell described as "a shy and humble guy with a great talent" will now "be in the recording studio next week making his first album".
As well as the £100,000 prize cheque, the Britain's Got Talent winner recieves an invitation to perform at the Royal Variety Performance, by invitation of her Majesty the Queen.
The Royal Variety Perfromance will be shown on ITV1 on December 3rd 2007. We'll see Paul, our very deserving winner, taking their much deserved place in the spotlight then.
For the opera singer - indeed, for all of the finalists on stage tonight - have proved it - Britain's Got Talent. It's may be kept hidden, it might be a secret. But it's out there. Paul can sing. What can you do?
