Jack Carroll auditions for Britain’s Got Talent in 2013
Britain’s Got Talent Jack Carroll won the nation’s hearts when he appeared on the talent show with a stellar stand-up routine in 2013.
At that point, Jack was only 14 years old and, in the years that followed, he has been adding impressive roles to his acting resume.
Before he even appeared on BGT, comedian Jason Manford saw a video of him performing at his parent’s wedding anniversary and invited the teen to give a short performance at one of his live shows.
During his time on the talent show, judges voted him through and he even made it to the semi-finals.
Jack – whose cerebral palsy is often a topic of his routines – eventually finished second in the final.
As one of the show’s favourites, Jack even returned to the competition series in 2019 in BGT: The Champions.
Fellow judge David Walliams cast the young comic in his BBC One sitcom called Big School as a character named Dean.
In the same year he appeared in Big School, he portrayed a character named Harry in the Sky One show Trollied.

Harry was a checkout operator who even has nine A*s in his GCSEs and Jack portrayed him for four years.
Jack took a chance at soap dramas and even appeared in an episode of Doctors in 2015 and 2021.
Despite his growing roles, the comic was still giving performances for Sunday Night at the Palladium and Live At The Apollo!
