Britain’s Got Talent 2011 Runner-up Ronan Parke Reveal His Feelings about those Rumours

Ronan Park, this years’ Britain’s Got Talent runner up, has revealed for the first time his feelings on the controversy surrounding his final week on the ITV show.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun, 12-year-old Ronan said he was “really upset” by the “rubbish” that was posted online.

Speaking about the blog post that claimed he had been signed by Simon Cowell years before entering the contest, Ronan said:  “I was really upset by those nasty words written by an anonymous person because it was all a load of rubbish. It was a horrible thing for someone to do, attack me like that. I hope some people didn’t stop voting for me because of it.

“I hate bullying – it’s a terrible thing to do and I hope that people will see that it’s wrong now.”

Ronan continued: “I felt like I should give Simon the best performance I could on Saturday. I love singing and that’s what it was all about for me.”

“I’m a lot stronger than people might think and I’ve got an amazing family and friends around me. They have all been great.”

Meanwhile mum Maggie, who had previously blasted the claims, told The Sun: “The show couldn’t have been more supportive and Simon personally called me at home to offer support. It meant so much to me.

“As far as I’m concerned you’re always going to get people that are saying nasty things because that’s the nature of life. It won’t affect Ronan. He knows the truth, we know the truth and certainly Simon Cowell and everybody at Syco knows.”
