Britain’s Got Talent’s Christopher Stone: The Hairless Angel’s Sympathetic Back Story
CHRISTOPHER Stone is Britain Got Talent’s Hairless Angel, a singing “sensation” who the Sun says is the victim of bullying. Here’s Christopher’s sympathetic back story that will maybe see him pip Tia Brodie to the prize to sing for Her Majesty:
Says he:
“I was bullied from day one until the day I left. Day in, day out. It started off being physical and became mental afterwards – but the mental bullying was worse by far.
“Bruises heal but the pain from mental bullying doesn’t just go away.”
Stone is the singing accountant. He is also a product of Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester, where he studied after leaving the “atrocious” school in Harrogate, scene of so much bullying.
The singing amateur is so much more. On the Chetham’s website we learn:
Recently, our students have broadcast for BBC Radio 3, performed at BBC Proms in the Park… Our Chamber Choir recently performed at the BBC Proms with the Gabrielli Consort and Paul McCreesh and recorded for Deutsche Grammophone.
And:
As you can see from our Leavers’ Destinations, the majority of our students go on to study at many of the finest conservatoires across the UK and abroad
Rather than being the bullying victim, might Stone be a well-trained singer with pedigree, although one who never quite made it. Who needs a conservatoire when you have BGT? But you still need to be victim to make it in the tabloids…
