<p>Paul Potts is known as an English singer, most famous for winning the first season of Britain's Got Talent.</p>

<h2>Background and Age</h2>

<p>Paul Potts was born in Kingswood and raised in nearby Fishponds by his father, Roland, a bus driver, and mother, Yvonne, a supermarket cashier. He grew up with two brothers and one sister. Potts attended St Mary Redcliffe and Temple School, where he developed his love of singing. He also sang with the choirs at Chester Park Junior School and several Bristol churches, including Christ Church. Potts said in interviews that he was often bullied in school, which has caused lifelong problems with his self-confidence, but he always found solace in music. After he left school in 1987, Potts had various jobs, including working at Waitrose and Tesco, as well as part-time at Debenhams.</p>

<h2>Relationships</h2>

<p>Paul admits to being a timid person. Because of his shyness, he first interacted with his first girlfriend and current wife Julie-Ann through an internet chat room. They seemed to hit it off instantly. Julie was the first woman to click with him, and he still stops to thank his lucky stars for getting her to fall in love with him. Julie-Ann and Paul started chatting in 2003, and Paul sent a photo of himself to increase her trust in him. After talking online for a month, they both decided to take a step forward by meeting in real life. Paul said he was more nervous in an interview because he had never seen Julie, but Julie had seen him.</p>

<p>Julie was already proud and ecstatic about Paul's achievements before he eventually won Britain's Got Talent and rocketed to fame. Nobody, including his colleagues, knew about Paul's singing talent, but Julie was the one who encouraged him to take his career seriously. The couple has been married for over a decade now but have yet to have any children.</p>
