Any Dream Will Do contestant, Keith Jack stopped singing for a year after the death of his grandad George. However it is now his late Grandad who inspires him to perform.

“Keith was just 15 when his granddad George – or Papa, as he knew him – died and you could not get him to sing. It was heartbreaking,” his father, also named George, told The Mirror. “Keith just bottled up all his grief. I had to keep encouraging him not to give up.”

Keith’s mum Irene added: “He quit singing completely. Papa was his inspiration to sing. It was him that encouraged Keith since he was a little boy. Keith and his grandpa were joined at the hip because they both loved singing so much.

“We’ve told him to go out there and get to the top, to do it for Papa. That’s why he’s trying so hard.”
