The EastEnders actor judges Suffolk’s talent show for those in recovery

This was the seventh Recovery’s Got Talent and was held at King Edward IV School on Saturday.

There were seven performances, plus last year’s winner Lauren opening the show, poems by Jody Lee and a closing number by Al “Soulman” Sharp.

The four judges (BBC Suffolk’s Jon Wright, Saddler, Mayor of Bury St Edmunds Diane Hind and Lauren) gave positive comments after each performance, but an anonymous audience vote selected the winner.

Singer Jasmine Rose, who is autistic, was this year’s winner and spoke about her own mental health challenges after being bullied at school.

She sang Whitney Houston’s All the Man That I Need, and then A New Life from the musical Jekyll and Hyde, which she said “resonates a lot with me personally.”

“This is absolutely mind-blowing, I’m so happy,” she said.

“It’s about wanting to improve and create a new life for yourself and keep looking forward.”
