Jack Saunders, an inspiring dancer who was due to appear on the upcoming series of Britain's Got Talent with his group Green Force Five, has sadly died at the age of just 25.
Jack, who has previously appeared on TV shows Got To Dance and The X Factor, reportedly made it through to this year's BGT semi-final, after his dance group Green Force Five impressed judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.
The Daily Mirror have revealed bosses at Britain's Got Talent are now supporting the dancer's family and friends.
Jack's mum Sandra has now bravely spoken about her son's tragic passing, telling the newspaper, "We don’t know why he did it, he didn’t leave a note. He did not have depression. He went to the GP before Christmas because he was feeling tired and they never spotted any problems.
"Suicide can happen to anyone at any time. People can’t believe Jack is gone. We are the same. I want people to know that this can happen to any family. There is no stereotype – it doesn’t have to be a manic depressive who has shown signs of mental health problems.
“Jack was a kind soul. He worried about everyone else – always focused on others to make sure they were OK. He was the shoulder you cried on.
"It’s just shocked everyone because to other people Jack had it all. Jack achieved more than many people could dream of achieving. He knew we loved him."
Our thoughts are with Jack's family and friends at this difficult time. ❤️
