Jonathan Antoine, famed for his stint on Britain's Got Talent, has been in the spotlight following his weight loss journey and recent diagnosis.The classical singer, who became a household name after appearing on the show, is back in the news after its return for the 17th season premiere of the hit talent show last night.
The judging panel, featuring Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell, and newcomer Bruno Tonioli, is on the hunt for fresh talent to grace the Royal Variety Show stage.It's been over a decade since Jonathan, then just 17, captivated the nation and the judges with his stunning performance of 'The Prayer' alongside Charlotte Jaconelli during the sixth season.
His exceptional vocal talent drew comparisons from Simon Cowell to none other than Luciano Pavarotti, propelling him and Charlotte to the finals.Despite their impressive run, they ultimately lost out to Ashleigh and Pudsey, the charming dog act, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Reflecting on not clinching the top spot, Jonathan shared: "I remember the feeling of the organs sinking. I didn't cry on stage."You have to then think, with Ashleigh and Pudsey, their mission with animals, they'll probably do more responsible things with that than I ever would.
