G4's Jon bullied
conducted by Daniel Saney, with G4 member Jon Ansell.


G4's Jon Ansell, one of the final acts of X Factor, has revealed the fact that he was bullied when he was younger due to an acne problem.

However, the 22-year-old singer does not seem bitter about the fact - he thinks that in the long-term it has improved his character:

"I was very spotty and had some hard times. It was physical and verbal.

"But I think bullying made me who I am now, so in some ways I’m glad."

Salvation came to Jon when his talents emerged:

"As it became clear I could sing, kids began to give me a break.

"With that came attention from the ladies — and I still get that now.".
