Britain's Got Talent Finalist Andrew Muir: 'I'll Be a Star'

Andrew MuirBritain's Got Talent finalist Andrew Muir has vowed to become a star and prove the show's judges wrong.


The Scottish plumber, who failed to impress Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden -- who panned his rendition of John Lennon's Imagine -- says he'll be a big hit in the stage show and the judges will be eating their words.


Muir was beaten in Saturday's final by 14-year-old break dancer George Sampson, who bagged the �100,000 prize; and will also get to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.


Muir says, "I probably wouldn't have won anyway - the talent was outstanding.


"But I don't agree with Simon when he said I was 'out my depth' and I'm determined to prove the judges wrong. I'll get the chance to prove myself on the tour.


"My semi-final performance was the real me. The final just didn't go well.


"The whole thing has been a tremendous experience and I've made great friends.


"George deserved to win as nobody worked harder throughout the show and he's an amazing dancer."


Andrew today began rehearsals in London for the month-long stage show, which starts on Friday.


He said, "I'll be speaking to my boss to see if he'll give me the time off to tour.


"This is a great opportunity for me. I'd love to have a crack at the music business."
