Natalie Okri from Britain's Got Talent

Posts Tagged ‘Godwin’

Natalie Okri’s father, Godwin, 44,  has been speaking to the Sunday People newspaper about his relationship, or should I say lack of relationship, with his daughter. He says that he had never heard his daughter sing, until he watched her on the TV last night. He has not even seen her in the six years that he has been apart from her mum, Tabeth.

However, he is now apparently seeking a reunion with Natalie, stating: “I’ve always wanted Natalie back in my life. I’m her dad. I miss her terribly.”

Godwin watched Britain’s Got Talent from his home in Belvedere, Kent, with his wife Victoria and their two children.

Godwin lives in a four-bedroom bungalow, which contrasts sharply with the cramped flat where Natalie, her mother Tabeth, and sister Michelle live. However, he has stated that he: “Tried to have contact but Tabeth will not have it.”  Tabeth nevertheless maintains that Godwin has not been in touch with her since 2003.

Clearly upset, she stated: “Natalie found it hard not having her dad around. He doesn’t want to know. He has his own family now.”
