Who is George Sampson and what is his background?

He was raised as one of five children in Warrington, Cheshire.
After auditioning for BGT in 2007, and failing to reach the live semi-finals, he trained hard for a year, determined to impress the judges more upon returning.
Before he went on the Britain's Got Talent, George was told by doctors not to compete as his spinal nerves got trapped and he went temporarily blind in one eye.
He suffers with a condition called Scheuermann's disease which affects bone development in children and teens and can cause curvature of the spine.
