His career has gone from strength to strength, with an impressive acting career and is set to appear in the theatres.

Jack, who has cerebral palsy, has since landed a string of acting roles in popular TV shows.

Before finding fame on BGT, comedian Jason Manford saw a video of him performing at his parent's wedding anniversary and invited the teen to give a short performance at one of his gigs.

He became an instant hit on BGT, with the judges voting him through and even came back for BGT: The Champions in 2019.

Comedian and fellow judge David Walliams offered Jack a part in his BBC One sitcom, Big School as a character named Dean.

He then landed his a role in Sky 1's comedy show Trollied, playing a character named Harry.
