BGT winner George Sampson reveals very different career after dance and acting fame
BRITAIN’S Got Talent winner George Sampson has revealed his very different career away from dance and acting.
The 31-year-old shot to fame in 2008 when he won the second series of the ITV competition when he was just 14.
George later joined the cast of Waterloo Road three years later.
He’s also appeared in The Dumping Ground, Casualty and Emmerdale, as well as various pantomimes.
George is also a huge game lover and appears on streaming website Twitch.
He goes live with fans on Twitch every Tuesday to Sunday from 7:30pm.
The star boasts 2,600 followers on the platform.
George also goes live on Instagram and TikTok to interact with fans.
His bio states: “Hi There, My names George Sampson! I am 31 years young and I won the second series of Britains Got Talent in 2008, breakdancing to Singin In The Rain.
“I started acting at 16, and have done many films, TV dramas and stage productions since.
“I have always gamed, and this year started streaming!”
This week he has been playing RuneScape on the platform.
