EXCLUSIVE: A Britain’s Got Talent winner has revealed who he thinks will take the crown this year as he analyses the ITV show – and guesses who will be the next champ
A Britain’s Got Talent legend has predicted the winner of this year’s competition – if all goes to plan for the star.
Opera singer Paul Potts has shared his hot take on the 2025 series after winning the first-ever show back in 2007.
In collaboration with Sky Vegas, Paul revealed that he thinks Scottish singer Vinnie McKee has a real shot at taking the crown – if he does one thing.
Predicting the winner, Paul said: “Vinnie [McKee] has a real chance [of winning Britain’s Got Talent] if he gets the right song and the arrangement is not over-complicated. I would rather they just allow his voice to shine through. It’s all about the song, not the arrangement.”
Bingo caller Vinnie surprised everyone with a tender version of The Proclaimers’ classic hit ‘I’m Gonna Be’ during his audition, which landed him a spot in the semi-finals due to Simon Cowell pressing his golden buzzer.
Paul then shared his thoughts on BGT game plans and if he thinks they could ever work.
He explained: “Enjoying the experience as much as they can [should be the gameplan]. People can see that joy, and it’s contagious.
“At the same time, it’s important to listen to the producers and take their advice on board. These people have years of experience in the industry and often know the best way to approach things.
“Ultimately, it’s about getting out there, having fun, and embracing the moment. This could be your one big chance, so don’t overthink it. Go out there, enjoy it, and let everyone see just how much fun you’re having.”
The ITV champ also discussed the differences between how the show plays out nowadays to the first-ever series.
Paul shared: “The process is quite different now. When I did it, the run was much shorter. I had about a week off before the live shows started airing.
“In fact, it was only when I was on a train heading back to London after a week in the Lake District that I first heard the demo audition had made an impression on the journalists at the press screening. That was the first sign that something might come of it.
“Now, with the show running over a longer period – and with the added intensity of social media – there’s a lot more to deal with. People can get quite fanatical, especially when they feel a particular act should’ve done better or gone further.
“That kind of pressure and criticism can really affect contestants, and it’s more important than ever that they have the right support to handle it.”
