Britain's Got Talent has seen its fair share of opera singers during its 18 years on air, with famous acts like Paul Potts and Susan Boyle making their names on the show. In 2012, a teenage operatic duo graced the stage leaving Simon Cowell saying "Seriously?"
Jonathon and Charlotte, who were 17 and 16-years-old at the time, blew away the judges as soon as they sang the first notes of The Prayer. In classic Simon style, he advised Jonathan to "dump" Charlotte, as he believed she would hold him back in the competition.
The operatic duo finished in second place to Ashleigh and her dog Pudsey, leaving fans of the teenagers disappointed. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter.
At the time Charlotte said: "Oh my God, we came second out of 70,000 people, it's incredible, it's been amazing."
The day after the final, it was confirmed that Simon Cowell was in negotiations to offer Jonathan and Charlotte a £1 million recording contract with his record label, Syco.
They later released their debut album Together in September 2012, which featured Italian covers of various songs from the likes of Elton John, Muse and Queen among others.
They then toured across Europe and released another album before deciding to split after they both were offered solo record deals by Sony Classical in February 2014.
In a statement on their website at the time, Jonathan and Charlotte said: "We have had the most exciting journey together ever since meeting at West Hatch High School in 2006 and are so happy for each other.
"To come second on BGT and sell over quarter of a million albums was beyond our wildest dreams.
Most recently Charlotte performed in Todrick Hall's new musical Midnight in early April. In a post on Instagram she said: "This show has been one of the most fulfilling and rewarding shows I’ve ever worked on.
"I’ve laughed and cried every day, watched the most talented humans create, and been giddy to see what would happen each day."
Jonathon is now working on his next album after a tour around the world, as well as performing locally in his home town of Essex.
After the pair split he topped the Classical Artist Album chart with his first solo album, Tenore.
In a recent social media post he thanked fans for listening to his music, inspiring him and allowing him to have a singing career. He said: "Your kindness in allowing me to explore all kinds of music and your superlative taste in good tunes has led the way!!"
Weight loss journey
Recently, Jonathon has been in the headlines for his dramatic weight loss of five stone.
Previously admitting to a shortfall in self-discipline, he recently said: "I've still got a lot to lose but I'm making my way. I feel stronger and healthier than I have in 10 years, which is a lot.
"This year I've made an active choice. I've felt I've lacked the discipline a lot. When I was out in America it's fast food everywhere.
"I was in a terrible state in the start of the year and I've been able to claw my way back doing light exercise.
"For a long time I was just experiencing life, letting life live me, trying to find the next pleasure. Taking control of your own life, grabbing the world with your hands, feels amazing."
