'Talent' star George worries about money

The 14-year-old dancer, who lives with his single mother Lesley, admitted that he is desperate for the £100,000 prize because it would put an end to his family's money problems.
"I'd pay my mum's mortgage off for a start," George told The Mirror. "I'm doing this for mum. I love her, we're really close. I do worry about money, but I stay strong."
Sampson's mother Lesley said: "He downplays it because I downplay it. It's been hard for the last six months. The money coming in isn't covering the money going out. But you never know what's round the corner."
George's 19-year-old brother Luke also lives with Lesley, while their sisters Chelsea, 17, Emily, 16, and Rosie, 13, live with dad Brian.
"We hardly ever get together," George said. "With the money, I'd be able to take them away."
