Paul Potts' Kiwi joy 'FATE IS BRINGING ME BACK'

The view over it Swansea Bay is so breathtaking, almost stops Paul Potts in his tracks.

The opera tenor, who found fame after winning the first-ever Britain's Got Talent series, is captivated by stunning scenery, so much so he chose sunsets from his Welsh property as a backdrop to his daily online concerts during Covid lockdowns.

Finding beautiful scenery has always been a way for him to unwind, but it does have its drawbacks for the photography buff.

"I used to do a lot more walking, but now I stop too often, I don't get as far," the 52-year-old jokes. "I started taking photos as a way of documenting where I've been. And it's grown from there. It's something I do often to chill out a little bit."

So, it's no surprise that any time Paul comes to New Zealand, he heads for the South Island.

"I've spent a couple of trips driving around, but I've really only seen the South Island," he tells. "I usually pick up a campervan from Christchurch Airport and then drive to Queenstown. I've spent a lot of time in Fiordland - it's very difficult to leave, it's so beautiful.

"And Te Anau and driving down to Milford Sound, there's always something different you notice."
