When 14-year-old George Sampson first danced on the Britain’s Got Talent stage back in 2007, the star didn’t quite do enough to reach the semi-finals and was sent home to Manchester. That didn’t stop George though and determined to win the show, he returned to the stage the following year.
During series 2, little George successfully not only made it through to the semi finals - a now famous performance of Singin' in the Rain, complete with an on-stage rain machine, secured the dancer a place in the final. For a boy who essentially came from nothing, his world was about to change forever as he won the second series of BGT. But who exactly is George Sampson and where is he now?
Born in 1993 in Warrington, a young George had to busk to pay for dance lessons. Following his BGT win, The Mint Royale version of Singin' in the Rain (which has become the song George is renowned for) went straight to number 1 in the UK charts - and George was on his way to success.
