STREETDANCE idol George Sampson’s success was written in the stars, according to his mum.

Soon after Lesley Sampson saw a psychic, who predicted her son would be as ‘famous as the man from The Doors’ in 2008, the 14-year-old’s life was turned upside when he became a household name winning Britain’s Got Talent.

While his family will be hoping any similarities with Jim Morrison end there, the former Birchwood High pupil has been using his experiences since shooting to fame to educate youngsters in the town how to progress in the streetdancing world.

In the last year, his Access 2 All Areas dance school has become increasingly popular and now boasts its own mini crew, taught by sister Rosie, which George talks about with pride.

The 19-year-old, who celebrates his 20th birthday on Saturday, said: “The kids couldn’t really dance six months ago, but now they’re so strong together and getting gigs.

“We’re really strict and won’t let them perform until they’re ready – if they go out too early the competition knows what they are about.

“When I was younger, me and six friends had never entered a competition before and walked in to see all these dance crews who have been doing it for years.

“We went in and won everything and left with everyone wondering who we were and what had just happened.

“That’s what I want for the kids here, blowing everyone away.

“We’re correcting the mistakes we made and not making them waste money on competitions.

“If I had my time again, I would have just trained rather than paying a fortune for a pointless trophy.”

A two-year-old mascot is the youngest member of the crew with the majority aged seven to 12, but toddlers are not uncommon at the Crown Street dance school as their busiest session is the under- fives Bambeenoz class.

George says it is one of his favourites to help with as none of the youngsters know who he is.

With his cheeky grin peaking under his over-sized cap it is no surprise he’s still a favourite with fans and having to turn autograph hunters away if they are not at his dance school for a class.

He next hopes to open a free running gym in the town and has his sights set on more film and TV work after appearing in Waterloo Road and the Streetdance films.

George added: “Doing free running makes me want to dance again because if you do something too much it becomes a chore.

“I love auditioning for films as it’s scary as anything. The acting world is completely different because you can go for a part, be the best actor, but still not get it if you’re not enough like that character.

“I want to be someone who does a bit of everything rather than known for one part.”

But despite the glamour of being a celebrity, the talented teen says he is most happy when he’s on his Xbox.

He added: “I get home and I’m straight on the Xbox playing Call of Duty with my mates.”
