Britain's Got Talent superstar Jon Courtenay is returning home next month to boost Cancer Support Suffolk after his own treatment for the disease.

The BGT winner from 2020 will be performing at Cancer Support Suffolk's fundraising Afternoon Tea in June.

Courtenay was fast tracked straight to the live semi-finals after Ant and Dec gave him their ‘Golden Buzzer!’

Courtenay revealed that he was battling melanoma, a type of skin cancer, during his time on Britian’s Got Talent.

Due to being involved in the show Jon put off having his mole checked and was diagnosed with melanoma only a few weeks before live shows started.

He had the cancerous mole removed in August 2020 ahead of the live semi-finals. He was told that the cancer had not spread further and given the ‘all-clear’.

Sadly, the following year the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes in his neck but thankfully in April 2022 Jon was once again given the ‘all-clear’.

Cancer Support Suffolk, a local charity, is holding a fundraising event to raise much-needed funds to continue to support people like him through their cancer journey.

The charity delivers awareness workshops, free counselling sessions and complementary therapy plus pamper days for those interested in skincare and make up.

CEO Mark Murphy said: “For Jon to give up his time like this is wonderful. With his own cancer journey he knows how important it is that patients receive the kind of help we offer."

The event will be held at Venue-16 in their Willow suite on Thursday June 20, to coincide with Suffolk Day celebrations.

It will be hosted by Rev Paul Pitt and Jon will be supported by singer Rachel Foskett.

Courtenay attended the Royal Hospital School in Holbrook, so Suffolk and cancer are close to his heart and was pleased to be asked to help raise funds for such an important cause.
