FORMER Britain’s Got Talent winner George Sampson has taken to social media to announce he has tested positive for coronavirus – stating #feelsbadman.

George, who will now have to self-isolate for 10 days, said in a recent interview that the performing arts industry had been “hit with a tonne of bricks” during the pandemic, returned to the show’s stage for its Christmas special, which was aired on Christmas Day.
The former Birchwood High School pupil, who is best known for his routine to Singin’ In The Rain, said at the time: “It’s always nice coming back to BGT! It’s like a gentle, humble reminder of how it all started and it’s nice to go back and give it my all to the people who gave it all to me.”
It was recently announced that George, now aged 27, was one of a number of former Britain’s Got Talent stars fronting a rival show called Now That’s Entertainment, to be aired on Amazon Prime.
George made a name for himself locally as a young teenager by performing his unique style of street dancing in Warrington town centre.
He went on to win BGT in May 2008 aged just 14, with a dance rendition to a jazzed-up version of Gene Kelly’s Dancing in the rain.
