Britain’s Got Talent star Jamie Pugh’s girlfriend hits out at claims the singer lied at his audition. The humble singer’s girlfriend of eight years Donna Davies, 35, defends her man.

She tells new!: “It was very hurtful. They made it sound like he had lied. He is no liar ….They said he has been in the West End for months, but he did one amateur thing. He didn’t have a contract and didn’t get paid. There was no way they could have paid him, anyway – it was appalling. I mean, I love him to death, but that was just awful!”

Jamie Pugh, I nearly Quit

Jamie Pugh has said that he nearly left the set of Britain’s Got Talent before he even began his audition.

The 38-year-old widowed  pizza delivery man won three “Yes” votes from the judges after his  performance of ‘Bring Him Home’ from Les Miserables on last weekend’s show.

Pugh told The Mirror: “I wanted to go home. I didn’t sleep for three days before and I’m now on 40 fags a day.

“This is going to sound really weird – I fear success but I don’t fear failure. I’ve failed at a lot of things and I fear success because I’m Jamie. I’ve got to appear on a TV show and I’m dreading it.”

He added: “I’m a wreck – I’m not a star.”

His 35-year-old partner Donna Davies said: “When Jamie wanted to walk out of the audition I threatened him with divorce – well not quite because we aren’t married. But I said, ‘You have to do it. Go for the ride and see what happens.’”
