SINGER Greg Pritchard who narrowly missed out on entering the finals of Britain's Got Talent has told Chronicle reporter Hannah Mlatem all about his experience.

Greg Pritchard was a humble waiter from Usk who spent his average day working 18 hours cleaning and setting table.

Then he decided to audition for Simon Cowell's brainchild Britain's Got Talent - and his world was turned upside down.

Greg stunned judges with his unique countertenor voice and was catapulted to the semi-finals. His average days then consisted of signing autographs and taking part in glamorous magazine shoots.

The talented Trostrey singer just missed out on the live semi-final show to 10-year-old Hollie Steel - who famously halted the show after breaking down during her performance. She was allowed to perform a second time on the night.

Gregg's performance didn't start well with crew only have seconds to set up his stage, rather than the five minutes allocated.

He then performed Barcelona in the style of Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Cabelle. Unfortunately his grand 'rock opera' style cape fell off and a buzz from Simon Cowell disrupted his performance and let the nerves kick in.

"I'm a bit gutted about the performance. I had positive comments but we were rushed after Hollie was allowed to sing again and I was shocked when Simon buzzed. During the dress rehearsal, which went brilliantly, Simon's girlfriend came up to me and said how much Simon liked me. She wanted a picture with me too. That's why I was shocked when he buzzed."

Greg was voted into second place by the public which meant he just lost out on a place in the finals. Although his Britain's Got Talent dream came to an abrupt finish, Greg still has an exciting future ahead of him.

"I've had an offer from Hollywood and thousands of others to consider," he said.

But before he sets off trying to find out what career path to take next Greg is going back to work for a couple of weeks in the Celtic Manor.

"I'm happy for Diversity - they were rally great. Innovative and amazingly talented. I though the final was a bit of a sing and dance off, more like X Factor meets Strictly Come Dancing. I do feel sorry for Susan Boyle and I felt sorry for Hollie - I think there should be some sort of assessment for people and how they will react to fame."
