Collabro surprised by mature female fans


Collabro get sent naked pictures from older women.

The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ winners have been inundated with raunchy pictures and messages by middle-aged housewives and are grateful to have inspired such passion among a more "mature" fanbase.

Jamie Lambert, the operatic boy band’s frontman, told The Sun newspaper: "They’re not so much girl fans as older women fans. We’ve had a few lingerie pictures – a lot of them are from, er, mature women. We applaud them for their confidence.

"We were just a bit surprised when it started happening … we were like, ‘Bloody hell, have you seen this?’ It’s very surreal. It’s weird when you’re on the tube looking at your notifications and a naked picture comes up and you’re like, ‘Oh!’ "

The five friends scored over a quarter of the votes on Saturday night (07.06.14) and were shocked to discover they were more popular than Bars and Melody, Lucy Kay and Paddy & Nico.

Jamie added: "We got the percentages through on the night. We got over a quarter of the votes which is incredible when there are 11 acts."

Collabro are meeting with ‘BGT’ boss Simon Cowell this week to discuss a potential record deal with his Syco label

Matt Pagan added: "One Direction really established themselves as the kind of band they wanted to be. Simon said that’s what he liked about us – that we’ve chosen musical theatre and we’re sticking with it."
