‘Britain’s Got Talent’ star Beth Porch would choose nursing over pop stardom.
The nurse wowed viewers of the ITV talent show – co-hosted by Ant and Dec – on Saturday night’s (18.04.20) episode with an emotional performance of a self-penned song called ‘You Taught Me What Love Is’, but she is not thinking about fame.
Speaking on ‘Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden’, Beth was asked by Jamie whether pop stardom or nursing would give her pleasure.
She replied: "Oh, looking after poorly people every time, this has never been about fame.
"When I was about 16/ 17, I think I wanted to be a famous singer, basically I wanted to be Taylor Swift, and then a lot of things happened in my life and that’s just not what I’m about.
"I think anybody going after fame is going after the wrong things. I love my job so much, whatever happens from this, if I end up becoming a musician that’s fantastic, and that’s a big dream of mine, but I already do my dream job. There’s nothing better than helping people."
Beth’s song has been released as a charity single in aid of NHS Charities Together and Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, and the tune entered at number six on The Official Big Top 40 chart on Sunday (19.04.20).
She wrote the song to help deal with her feelings after working with sick patients.
Beth explained: "It was inspired by a lot of the patients and families that I’ve worked with and I previously worked on the cancer ward, and obviously it’s a very emotionally demanding job and we do experience quite a lot of sadness there.
"So one way to help me deal with my feelings and emotions about sad situations we come across is I sing and I write songs, so for me it’s just an expression of my feelings and a way for me to deal with everything.
"Obviously it’s been amazing for my music to be shared and it resonated with so many people, for me that’s exactly what music is about, and so I’m so happy so many people have enjoyed listening to my song."
Tune in to ‘Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden’ weekdays from 06:30-10:00.
