During the first round of the TV show, Andrew Johnston's Pie Jesu performance won not only the audience's long-standing ovulation but also wowed three judges including American Idol's Simon Cowell. But initially, not everyone, even his parents and classmates, likes Andrew Johnston, aka Choir Boy, to sing opera!

His amazing singing voice was discovered by a teacher when he was seven.

He has also had a particularly harsh upbringing in which he survived on a diet of bread and milk and was bullied for his love of opera.

He is currently head chorister in his home city of Carlisle.

Johnston said on the TV show: "I've been bullied since I was six because my mates have been telling me to leave the singing. They don't like that kind of music."

One of the judges, Simon Cowell asked him how he dealt with the bullies, he added: "I carry on singing."

Holden told him: "You could knock all those bullies out with that voice."
