SAM MADE DREAM TRUE

EUROVISION star Sam Ryder feared his dreams may never come true.

As he gets set for his album coming out, the former wedding singer recalled: “There were dark nights of the soul. Lonely drive home, at 3am, after a wedding. Someone you know has had success.

“But when you see people succeeding, the best way to deal with it is to wish them the best because what you want for yourself you should want for everyone. If I want a life with fulfilment and love, I have to want that for someone else, so I never got into self-loathing – it fired me up.”

Debut LP There’s Nothing But Space, Man! arrives on December 9.
