Potts sailed through the competition after singing Nessun Dorma, which he also sang in the final. Other acts who took part in the final included puppeteer Damon Scott, dance troupe Kombat Breakers and six-year-old singer Connie Talbot "I can't think of anybody that I would rather see represent this show in front of her Majesty The Queen than Paul Potts," Piers Morgan said after the result was announced. "I'm so proud of you," said Simon Cowell, revealing that Paul would be in the recording studio making his debut album next week. Potts, meanwhile, said he was "speechless".
