Jack's still got talent for making 'em laugh

GOOD PAL: Jason Manford

their help and time. I’ve been really, really lucky in that regard.

A lot of people that I really like, and have been a big fan of, have been kind and helpful with their advice and wisdom.

Jason Manford put me on stage when I think I was 11. It was a gig at St George’s Hall in Bradford in front of 2,500 people.

(Laughs) Fair play to Jason. I don’t know whether I would have that amount of faith in an 11-year-old comic supporting me on my new tour.

Jason is still a good pal and I’m very grateful for that early experience. One of those things about starting young is that you are impervious to the stage fright a little bit. I just enjoyed it.

Probably the one that sticks out is the lady who invaded the stage during my semifinal and threw some eggs at Simon Cowell.
