Jonathan Antoine still seeing counsellor

BRITAIN’S Got Talent runner-up Jonathan Antoine is still seeing a counsellor to help him cope with his newfound fame.

The larger-than-life star became an instant hit on the variety show thanks to his big voice and close bond with opera partner Charlotte Jaconelli.


Jonathan has since turned his life around after contemplating suicide due to weight problems, depression and self-harming.


But he admitted he still relies on a therapist to help him deal with the fame game.

The singer said: “I still have a counsellor in case I ever feel a bit down. I know he is there for me.


“It is nice to know I have the support if I need it.

“I still have hard days but I am a completely different person to when I auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent.”

The teenage opera singers are riding high in the charts with debut album Together.

And the formerly timid Jonathan added: “I now feel a responsibility to help other people and give something back.

“It’s important for me to get involved in charities like Stonewall and charities in general. I also have a big passion for the homeless.”
