Jon Courtenay

Jon Young (born 4 March 1973) known professionally as Jon Courtenay is an English singer, pianist, entertainer and comedian, known for winning the fourteenth series of Britain's Got Talent, having previously been awarded the golden buzzer during his audition by presenters Ant & Dec. He was the first ever Golden Buzzer act to win in the history of the show.

Courtenay is from Mossley and attended the Royal Hospital School

In 2020, Courtenay entered and won the 14th series of the ITV talent competition Britain's Got Talent, which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic. He wrote and performed a one-man musical at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2022 and 2023.[citation needed]

Courtenay has two sons; Alfie (14) and Nathan (20)[citation needed]

During filming of Britain's Got Talent in July 2020, a suspicious mole on the left side of his head was found to be a melanoma. After treatment, he was given the all-clear by the end of the year. However, it was then discovered that the cancer had spread to his neck, which required major surgery and a course of treatment. This experience inspired a new show, Against The Odds, a one-man comedy musical that he took to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022.[citation needed]
