Paul Potts to buy new teeth with winnings

Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts is reportedly to spend his prize money on a set of new teeth.

"I'd like to deal with the teeth because I do feel very self-conscious about them," he explained. "It'd be nice to feel less self-conscious and to be able to smile with confidence.

"I'm not sure about veneers but I do want to get the crown repaired. It would be nice to be able to smile naturally. I feel very self conscious about it at the moment.

"But whatever happens, I still remain an ordinary bloke. I am no better than other people - I just happen to have a different talent."

However, the mobile phone salesman said that his makeover will not include fancy suits like Simon Cowell's. He said: "I vividly remember that doing that first audition in my cheap £35 Tesco suit and seeing Simon Cowell sitting there in his Armani.

"I don't think I'll ever wear it again but it will always be a reminder of where I was and where I attempt to remain - except in better clothes.

"I'm wearing a Burton suit today and I expect to continue buying Burton. I'm not hung up on labels, or being seen in the right shops and the right clubs.

"I'm not going to be part of that crowd - I've no intention of being one of these people that has labels here, labels there, with artificial tendencies and caught up in superficial things. I don't think I'll ever be that Hollywood person.

"I'm not going to change who I am. I want to remain an Everyman."
