A singer has set his sights on stardom after wowing judges on a TV talent show.

Wayne Woodward, 21, of West Sutton, promised audiences “haven’t seen anything yet” as he eyes glory on Britain’s Got Talent.

The former Kingston College bowled over a studio crowd and judges including Simon Cowell after swapping his Danny Dyer-like speaking voice for a stunning rendition of Frank Sinatra’s The Way You Look Tonight.

His dad, also called Wayne Woodward, even broke a seat as he punched the air in delight at his son’s performance.

Despite being praised by the judges and on social media, Mr Woodward says he can improve.

He said: “I could have done so much better, if I’m being honest. People who have seen me perform since have come up to me and have said that I was much better than I was on TV. I think it was my personality that got me through that day.

“But people haven’t seen anything yet and I don’t think they will get to see me at my best unless I do a two-hour show where I can show what I can do.

"That’s the dream really, to sell out Madison Square Garden, Wembley Arena and the o2.

"That’s the level I want to get to and Britain’s Got Talent is a stepping stone to getting there.”

The former Carshalton Boys Sports College student developed a love for Frank Sinatra and Matt Monroe after hearing his dad and grandfather sing during karaoke nights at The Plough pub, which his dad used to own, in Gander Green Lane.

 But despite being praised by all four judges and winning plaudits on social media, Mr Woodward Jnr insisted he could have improved.

He told the Sutton Guardian: “I could have done so much better, if I’m being honest. 

“People who have seen me perform since have come up to me and have said that I was much better than I was on TV. I think it was my personality that got me through that day.

“But people haven’t seen anything yet and I don’t think they will get to see me at my best unless I do a two-hour show where I can show what I can do. 

“That’s the dream really, to sell out Madison Square Garden, Wembley Arena and the o2, that’s the level I want to get to and Britain’s Got Talent is a stepping stone to getting there.”

The former Carshalton Boys Sports College and Kingston College student developed a love for Frank Sinatra and Matt Monroe after hearing his dad and grandfather sing during karaoke nights at The Plough pub, which his dad used to own, in Gander Green Lane. 

He initially sang in different styles but began focusing on Sinatra after his voice broke and chose to celebrate what would have been swing legend’s 100th birthday this year by reprising Ol’ Blue Eyes on Britain’s Got Talent.

Since flying through the ITV show’s televised auditions Wayne has hired a manager and recorded an album at Starcity Studios in Grove Road, Sutton.

He performs at gigs across London and in Brighton on weekends.

But he initially struggled to convince his parents that he should to pursue his dream of being full-time singer instead of getting a “proper” job.

He said: “My parents have always been supportive, but they pushed back a bit when I said I wanted to make a career out of it. 

“They told me I needed to get a proper job and I said I’d stick with singing for a year.

“Even if I was skint for a year I’d keep trying, but if nothing came out of it then I would go and get a proper job.

He added: “If I make some money through the show, or from a record deal I’ll pay for the chair my dad broke.”
