Paul PottsPaul PottsYou'd have to have a heart made out of tin not to warm to Paul Potts.

He heated our cockles when he won Britian's Got Talent last year.

His story appeared to touch the nation - you soft Blighty bunch.

But that's why we know you'll be pleased to hear this latest news - Paul's now having a movie made about his rise from average Joe to celeb extraordinaire.

And don't go thinking it'll be some low-budget & number - no siree, it will be created by Hollywood giant Paramount Pictures and produced by Simon Cowell.

Si, who was a judge on the talent show, was phoned up by a grande fromage in the film biz, suggesting the idea.

Simon CowellSimon CowellSimon told The Daily Mirror: "This company got that it's another Billy Elliot - a story anyone in the world can understand."

Paul, an ex-phone salesman, fell into debt pursuing stardom and was even unsure about joining the telly contest - we bet he's counting his lucky stars that he did.

Simon added: "This was his last chance. He decided to enter on the toss of a coin."

Paul said: "I can't believe my life's becoming a film."

Believe it Pauly, we're chuffed to bits for you.
