Paul Potts talks Simon Cowell and his new album

Former Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts says his new album is his best yet. The opera singer, from Port Talbot, South Wales, has been selling out concerts worldwide since winning the first series of the ITV1 talent show. Paul signed a £1 million record deal with judge Simon Cowell's label Syco. The larger-than-life tenor's first album One Chance went to number one in 13 countries and he is hoping the follow-up Passione will do even better. He said: "I think I have been around the world five times now. It's just mind-boggling. "I think Passione is a better record. It's more polished and it's one that Simon tells me I should be proud, so I'll do as I'm told."
