Once upon a time, there was a dumpy guy who had never gotten around to having his teeth straightened. The son of a bus driver and a supermarket cashier, he had been bullied in school which mangled his self-confidence. He eventually supported himself with a job at the "Carphone Warehouse" in the south of Wales, but he carried another dream in his heart.

One day, not too long ago, he auditioned for the British version of America's Got Talent, usually a magnet for quick-change artists and yodeling Grannies.

This is what happened. Get your Kleenex.
