Jamie Pugh didn’t want the Simpathy Vote

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”.
