BGT finalist opens up on tough year as he's only ever had '£500 in the bank'
Britain's Got Talent finalist Vinnie McKee has opened up on the difficult year his family has faced after the death of his brother A Britain's Got Talent finalist has opened up about the staggering impact winning the £250,000 prize would have on him, confessing he's never had more than £500 in his bank account. Vinnie McKee, who left the judges spellbound with his operatic rendition of The Proclaimers' hit 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)', earned himself the coveted Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell, catapulting him directly into the live shows. Overwhelmed by the turn of events, Vinnie emotionally stated, "Things like this don't happen to people like me." Now a contender in the final, Vinnie, who works at a holiday park, is among the eight acts vying for public votes. In a candid chat with Yahoo!, reports the Express, Vinnie shared that the thought of winning such a substantial sum was so foreign to him that he might "pass out" from the shock. He admitted: "I don't think I've had any more than £500 in my bank." The 30-year-old also touched on the tough times his family has endured following his brother's passing and the unwavering support from his parents. He affectionately remarked, "My mum is my best friend, and my dad is my best friend. We are such a close family. "They're 70 this year. So I would probably get them a wee apartment so they don't have to use their pension to pay their rent anymore." Reflecting on his journey since his Britain's Got Talent audition, Vinnie described the variety show as "the most incredible experience in my life," adding: "I hope it never ends now." He continued: "Life is so short, my brother passed away last May, and it broke the family a little bit." Vinnie remembered his mum encouraging him to apply for Britain's Got Talent following their family tragedy, and of his Golden Buzzer moment, he said: "It was a whole turnaround moment. "When the confetti fell on stage, I looked up to the sky and I just thought to myself: 'Thanks for that.' He was watching me that day."

Former Britain's Got Talent finalist, 30, cleared of raping two women
A former Britain's Got Talent finalist who landed a lucrative record deal with Simon Cowell has been cleared of raping two women. Andrew Johnston, 30, who competed as a singer on the television programme in 2008 when George Sampson was crowned winner, told the court he has 'never sung a note' since the allegations were made against him. Johnston was charged with raping and sexually assaulting one woman and raping another, but he told Southwark Crown Court both women had told 'a pack of lies'. He described his lovemaking as 'fast, energetic, maybe a bit passionate' but said he was never aggressive, always used a condom and that the sex was consensual. The jury of nine women and three men cleared him of all the charges. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. The alleged offences happened a number of years after Johnston shot to fame as a choirboy on the ITV show, Maryam Syed KC, prosecuting, told the jury previously. Ms Syed said Johnston, of Carlisle, Cumbria, had been 'engaging in consensual sexual activity' with one of the women, but he allegedly removed his condom, and she 'repeatedly told Mr Johnston to stop' but he did not. The other woman told police she engaged in consensual sex with the singer and asked him to use a condom. More Trending The woman said she started to feel his hands around her neck and 'no matter how many times she removed them', he kept putting his hands back around her throat, Ms Syed said. He then stopped and removed the condom, then carried on with the sex, it was alleged. The singer, who was born in Dumfries, Scotland, but moved when he was about eight months old, released an album that went to number four in the UK charts and appeared on tour with other Britain's Got Talent finalists.
