Former Britain’s Got Talent winner George Sampson has been asked to fly to LA and audition for a part in Michael Jackson’s London comeback shows.

According to The Sun, Jackson’s choreographer Kenny Ortega instigated the meeting which is rumoured to be taking place within the week.

“George couldn’t believe it when he got the call-up,” a source told the newspaper.

“His mum has had to scrape him from the ceiling every morning since he was told he would be auditioning for Jacko.

“He has been rehearsing morning, noon and night to get his routines sharpened up for his big chance.

“He’s nervous but he’s used to performing under pressure.”
