According to The Mirror, Jack was part of a five-man dance group, Green Force Five, and they had made it through to the semi-finals of the upcoming season, which starts next month.

Jack had been in the spotlight since he was 18-years-old

‘We don’t know why he did it, he didn’t leave a note. He did not have depression,’ his mum, Sandra, told the publication.

‘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,’ she continued. ‘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.’

While a spokesman for Britain’s Got Talent added: ‘Our thoughts and condolences are with Jack’s family and friends during this difficult and devastating time.’

It is not yet known whether producers will still air his audition with Green Force Five.

Jack’s dance career threw him into the spotlight when he was 18-years-old, dancing in the opening ceremony at the London Olympics, in 2012.

Later that year, he reached the Got To Dance finals with troupe Unity UK, and has also performed on the X Factor stage twice.

His family are holding a memorial service in Stratford on Sunday, and releasing 25 balloons in his memory, while raising money for charity CALM.
