Shy and retiring X factor contestant Jahmene Douglas is many people's pick to win this year's competition, but it has been revealed that the reluctant star is still grieving for his older brother Daniel, who died in tragic circumstances three years ago.
An insider close to the family told Heat magazine of how difficult the X-factor experience had been for him without his older brother there to support him. "It's still very sensitive for him and right now all he wants to do is focus on his music and the competition. His family life is complex and he doesn't have contact with his father."
He has had a very difficult family life for a number of reasons, not least because his father is currently incarcerated and serving a fifteen year jail sentence for the brutal GBH and rape of his mother Mandy Thomas at their Bath family home back in 2003, when Jahmene was just 11 years old.
Jahmene's mother and father had been together for 18 years before the attack took place, but a friend of the family revealed that: "He terrorised the family; his dad was a nasty piece of work. It's no surprise that he has confidence issues".
But despite all that has happened, Jahmene shares an incredibly strong bond with his mother, his sister and his two brothers, and he informed the sun that he hopes he can become an inspiration to anyone who may be suffering.
Jahmene (who is being mentored by ex-pussycat doll Nicole Scherzinger) is a devout Christian who has relied on his Christian faith to get him through the tough times. "Losing his brother was a huge reason why he turned to religion. His faith is incredibly important to him" Heat magazine was told.
Jahmene has certainly come a long way since he was crowned 'Swindon's Got Talent' winner back in 2010, an accolade which saw him lend his vocals to a charity song by Reach Inclsive Arts, designed to help involve more disabled people in creative and cultural activities.
Jahmene has stolen the hearts of the judges and viewing public alike, ever since his first nervous performance on the hit talent show just a few weeks ago. And despite (or maybe because of) all the sadness and adversity that has befallen him in his short life, he seems to have a real honesty about him that reaches out to people and maybe, just maybe, will be enough to make him the Britain's Got Talent champion 2012.
