Britain's Got Talent star exposes what life was like in the contestants' hotel

A Britain's Got Talent star has explained what it is like living in the contestant's hotel.

Former winner Paul Potts, who stunned the judges with his incredible voice back in 2007, has spoken exclusively to Daily Star about his time competing on the show and what it was like living with his co-stars.The BGT legend told us: "There were quite a few really strong acts like Damon Scott, who brought a lot of fun to the show. We actually had a real sense of community among us. The hotel we stayed in helped with that.""It was a nice place to unwind and we were lucky to have a good setup where we could relax after performing."

Paul also explained that the contestants would "support each other" through the process and would lift each other up while they were all in the hotel together.

Potts said: "There’s usually a really strong sense of camaraderie, because everyone’s in the same boat. For us, we were all staying at a hotel in North London, and we’d sit together watching the audition rounds and supporting each other."

"I’m sure that kind of bond still happens now. You might get one or two acts who are a bit more competitive and keep to themselves, but honestly, if you do that, you miss out on so much."

Paul has done his fair share of hotel hopping after winning the first ever series of Britain's Got Talent with his rendition of Nessun Dorma.

One time, things didn't go exactly to plan and he was left without an outfit before a performance during a mix-up at one hotel: "I was really fortunate [when I was on the show] because they actually sent me to a West End tailor, and they made me a tuxedo.""Unfortunately, it ended up getting shrunk by a hotel dry cleaner in New Zealand, not ideal! Buying off the peg has always been a bit awkward for me, not just because of my size, but because I’ve got quite short arms and leg so I usually have to get sleeves altered or I look like I’ve borrowed someone else’s suit."
