Bookmakers have rapidly revised their odds on Jamie Pugh winning Britain’s Got Talent after it emerged that he may have fibbed during his audition performance for the show.
Bookies are now said to be offering odds on the Welshman being booted off after it came to light that he has performed before an audience in a West End stage show.
Millions of viewers saw the 38-year-old tell Ant and Dec that he was “crippled with nerves” and also tell Simon Cowell that he had never sang before a large audience.
However, a report in The Sun has claimed that Jamie appeared in Star EFX Sunday Night Live, a showcase for new talent, at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London.
He sang a medley of Rod Stewart hits with a group of six others and apparently gave a solo performance of What A Wonderful World.
Bookmakers William Hill are now offering 7/1 odds on Pugh getting the boot.
Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams said in a statement: “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.”

Jamie Pugh a Fake? You Decide
According to The DailyMail, Jamie has already performed on stage in front of a 1000 people in a west end show, despite saying he had never sung in front of an audience.
Some highlights from the article:
“Jamie appeared with a group of singers at Star EFX Sunday Night Live, a weekly showcase for new talent at Her Majesty’s Theatre, in London.”
“He is the stunningly talented pizza deliveryman set to rival Britain’s Got Talent’s Susan Boyle, despite crippling stage fright and the urge to run off stage.”
“But the contestant Jamie Pugh was apparently exposed as a liar last night, after it emerged he had already performed in the West End.”
“But last night he confessed to having entertained the West End, but denied misleading fans because he has never performed alone.”
