Paul Potts signs £1 million record deal
Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts has signed a £1 million record deal with Simon Cowell.

The 36-year-old former mobile phone salesman will start recording for Cowell's Syco Music label next week.

Cowell promised Potts a record deal on Britain's Got Talent's live final after he won the variety competition with his rendition of Puccini's 'Nessun Dorma'.

Potts said: "I'm over the moon - I can't believe any of this. Simon's been true to his word and this has given me the most amazing opportunity. None of this has sunk in yet."
