The opera singer - who the very first series of the ITV show back in 2007 - was eliminated on Saturday night (31.08.19) after Simon Cowell said the "shaky" performance got better as it went on, and he has responded to claims he was thrown off by a last-minute production change.
He tweeted: "Hmmmm perhaps my words should be read a little more carefully. I blamed myself. "I self analyse after every performance and I can pick out every error. My job is to do everything I can to avoid slipping up due to these things including technical issues."
He had previously revealed he was put off by a change in filming just moments before he stepped out on stage.
He explained: "Was little frustrated with myself as after 15 run throughs, Production gave me a change of camera direction on my way to the stage &it left me looking for the camera that came from different direction
"Shouldnt have allowed that to make me think, as I need to feel when performing.(sic)"
Now, he has responded to fans sending him messages of support and revealed he has no plans of stopping making music because he is still enjoying a career away from television.
He said: "I'll definitely never give up. I love what I do too much for that. Plus I'd have to pay out for cancellation for 52 shows. That would bankrupt me lol (sic)"
And Paul, 48, also suggested 'BGT: The Champions' is "more about celebrating success" than pitting former contestants against each other.
He added: "The show is more about celebrating success than a competition.extremely proud that 12 years on Im just as busy as ever doing what I love. I count myself very fortunate but I also work as hard as I can."
