Paul Potts vows to clear debts

Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts has pledged to use his prize money to clear his debts.

The 36-year-old mobile phone salesman was £30,000 in the red before he entered the TV talent hunt.

However, he collected £100,000 on Sunday after he won the lucrative variety contest with his rendition of Puccini's 'Nessun Dorma'.

He said: "I think that a few people are going to want me to pay off some debts. Two years off sick kind of knocks you for six when all you have to live on are your credit cards."
