Less than a week after winning the final of Britain's Got Talent, amateur opera singer Paul Potts has taken another stage by storm - America. The 36-year-old mobile phone salesman flew to New York to be interviewed on NBC's Today show, one of the most influential programmes on American television. 'I think I'm still on Planet 66 at the moment - I just can't believe it,' he told the show's presenter, before singing Nessun Dorma to a live crowd. 'It's been a mindblowing experience. To have been on Britain's Got Talent and met Simon Cowell has been incredible. It has changed my life.' Picking up on Paul's admission that he had been bullied at school, the presenter asked him what he would say to those bullies now. 'I went through quite a lot of bullying and never really had the confidence,' he told her. 'In some ways the bullying I had probably made me the person I am. So in some ways, it would be: "Thank you!" But I hope that other people whose confidence is down because of bullying can see me as a source of inspiration.' Paul added that he will start work on his new album as early as Saturday, 23 June, for release in around a month's time. Click below to watch Paul's appearance on the Today show
