It has been revealed that Jahmene Douglas - many people's favourite to win this year's X-factor competition - is still in mourning over the trajic death of his older brother Daniel, who died three years ago, aged just 23 years old.
It has also been revealed by a source close to the family that Jahmene had struggled immensely right the way through the competition without having his big brother there to support him: "It's still very sensitive for him" Heat magazine was told. "All he wants to do is focus on the music and the competition right now".
He has had a very difficult family life for a number of reasons, not least because his father is currently incarcerated and serving a fifteen year jail sentence for the brutal GBH and rape of his mother Mandy Thomas at their Bath family home back in 2003, when Jahmene was just 11 years old.
Jahmene's parents had been together for nearly eighteen years before the vicious attack. A family friend informed us that: "His dad was a nasty piece of work - he terrorised the family. It's really no surprise that he has confidence issues".
The bond between Jahmene and his sister, his two brothers and his mother is incredibly strong after all that the family have been through. "I hope I can become an inspiration to those still suffering. Our struggles are what make us stronger". He informed the Sun.
Jahmene (who is being mentored by ex-pussycat doll Nicole Scherzinger) is a devout Christian who has relied on his Christian faith to get him through the tough times. "Losing his brother was a huge reason why he turned to religion. His faith is incredibly important to him" Heat magazine was told.
Jahmene was previously awarded the title of 'Swindon's Got Talent' winner in 2010, an award which saw him sing the lead vocals for a charity song by Reach Inclusive Arts, aimed at helping to involve more disabled people in creative and cultural activities.
It may seem like a while since Jahmene burst onto our screens and into our hearts as a shy supermarket worker, but the nation has got behind him like never before and hopes are high of him winning this years competition. And should he be victorious, what a fairytale ending it would be - and how deserved - that someone who has been through so much could still be able to achieve something as incredible as winning such a prestige talent competition.
