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."
His father, Eustace Douglas, is currently serving a 15 year sentence for the GBH and rape of his Jahmene's mother Mandy Thomas back in 2003 at their family home in Bath, when he was just 11 years old.
The couple had been together for 18 years prior to the attack, but a source close to the family revealed that: "His dad was a nasty piece of work and terrorised the family. It's no surprise that he is shy and has had confidence issues".
The bond between Jahmene and his sister, his two brothers and his mother is incredibly strong after all that the family have been through. "I hope I can become an inspiration to those still suffering. Our struggles are what make us stronger". He informed the Sun.
Religion is very important to Jahmene, who is a devout Christian. He has been able to draw immense strength from his Christian faith which has helped him through the difficult times. "His faith is really important to him. The loss of his brother was the main reason why he turned to religion".
Jahmene is no stranger to success, having already been crowned 'Swindon's Got Talent' champion 2010, an accolade which lead to him singing the lead vocals for a special song by the charity Reach Inclusive Arts, which helped to involve disabled people in cultural and creative 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.
