Britain’s Got Talent star Travis George hits back at ‘fix’ claims after it was revealed he’d starred in huge BBC drama
BRITAIN’S Got Talent star Travis George has hit back at “fix” claims after it was revealed he’s appeared on TV before.
Some fans pointed out that the star – who was practically shaking with nerves on stage – had recently starred in the BBC’s Casualty.
But speaking on ITV’s Lorraine today he insisted he’d never trained as either an actor or a singer.
The powerhouse singer, 22, told host Christine Lampard: “I find it so interesting – my first controversy. I’ve only been in the limelight for two minutes.
“This is a weird thing that I’m some famous actor. I’ve got to set the record straight.
“I’ve never been trained as an actor or a singer. I had no clue what I was doing when I got on that stage – trust me, I didn’t.”
He added: “Britain’s Got Talent had no idea about my very small amount of acting before I went on it. I had to tell them before I got the opportunity.
“That’s how famous I am, they didn’t even know. I haven’t been educated in the arts.”
During his performance, the crowd got on its feet, and Simon Cowell later said Travis had earned “4,000 yeses.”
The singer’s mum also broke down in tears as she watched his incredible performance from the wings with Ant and Dec.
Following his audition, where he gained a pass to the next round, he said: “I feel reborn. Put it on my gravestone guys. I’m so happy.”
Speaking on Lorraine today, Travis revealed that he is on the autistic spectrum.
He said: “You have your own process when you’re on the autistic spectrum.
“Mine to get through performances when the anxiety hits you is to create a character in my head.
“That’s why I love theatre, to immerse yourself and put yourself in someone’s shoes.”
