Posted in Britain's Got Talent, Jamie Pugh, Personal life on 05/09/2009 06:53 pm by joetru
When Jamie Pugh was intervieed by Britain’s Got Talent Hosts Ant & Dec, he said that he sufferend from serious stage fright and that it was very crippling for him and it had prevented him from trying to go professional before. Afterwards he was questioned by the judges about whether he had been on front of an audience like the one in the theater at the moment and he said no.
But soon came out that he had actually been in front of a large audience at Her Majesty’s Theater in 2006 for Star EFX Sunday Night Live, a showcase for new talent.
It is true that he was part of a group and that the performance was less than memorable, but to many he should have mentioned that during his audition in Britain’s Got Talent, and that could cost Jamie any possibilities of winning the contest or even going to the finals after his performance in the semi finals.
Bookies are offering odds 7/1 on Jamie getting the Boot, a representative from William Hill’s said:
“A large part of Jamie’s charm was based on his `chronic’ stage fright.
“Once you take that away he is fairly ordinary and you can see Simon Cowell taking a dim view.”
And though I don’t believe Jamie lied when he was interviewed his carelessness of failing to mention that particular previous experience could cost him a great deal. He needs to surprise both judges and audience with his second performance ion order to regain the credibility that he is loosing by this news.

ousJamie Pugh’s life has been a bumpy one, in his mid 20′s he had to go through one of the worst things that can happen, to loose a loved one to a terrible illness.
10 Years ago Jamie’s wife Tracie, then 27 ,passed away of a brain tumor. A horrible episode in Jamie’s life described by a friend:
“Tracey and I would chat over the fence in our back gardens, but then for a month or so she didn’t come out.
“I asked Jamie where she’d been and he told me she was very poorly – a brain tumour, he said.
“It knocked us for six. She was so young and full of life. Soon after, when she must have been close to the end, they moved in with her mum. We saw Jamie a couple of months later and he said she’d passed away.”
This left Jamie completely destroyed, now 10 years afterwards his life is back on tracks, with a three year old son from his partner Donna who gave him the strength to audition for a second time in Britain’s Got Talent, the first one he could barely speak out his name.
Jamie didn’t want the sympathy vote, that’s why he hid his sad story from the judges and TV producers when he auditioned. To answer questions about it would have only made him more nervous and he’s probably wouldn’t have been able to sing the way he did.
The rest is history, with one promising career in the music industry Jamie Looks up to the future, he is nervious about the semifinal where he will have to sing live on TV in front of millions of people. but as he says ” I’ll cross that bridge when I have to”.
