The 27-year-old had previously auditioned two years ago as The Phantom, reaching the semi-finals in 2022 with his invisible ghost act.
Surprise comeback

Social media uproar
Viewers took to social media to express their frustration over the decision to allow Jack to audition again, with some accusing the show of running out of fresh talent and resorting to bringing back old acts. Despite the backlash, judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli, and Simon Cowell all gave Jack a pass to the next round with four yeses.
Closely-guarded secret
Jack’s identity as The Phantom was a closely-guarded secret during his previous stint on the show, with speculations running wild about who was behind the character. Even BGT alum Marc Spelmann had to deny any involvement, adding to the mystery surrounding the act.
