Agree Stella -Come dine with me was fab last night -great fun and Jonathan came across so well excellent food,attentive host ..Jonathan and Harvey deserving winners in my opinion -great primetime entertainment.

We loved the show in our house! Reduced to tears laughing so much at some points!

Lynsey and Tamara were lovely but the men stole the show for me. The banter and competitiveness between Jonathan and Harvey was great... in the nicest possible way.

Jonathan in the kitchen was hysterical - and Harvey is quite a wit!

Jonathans meal was the best of the night I thought - it looked delicious - and a miracle that he managed to produce it given his kitchen disasters. Harvey was doing well with his menu too - until the desert!

Great show!

What a BRILLIANT show Come Dine With Me was last night

I started laughing when Jonathan mentioned that his stick blender had broken (memories of that from RSC in his G4 days ) and I laughed until the end credits rolled and even after that. Still chuckling away when I think of the show though.

Really showed Jonathan in a different light to his usual singing self and showed him as a great giggler and good for a laugh (fancy dress for Harvey's). He had a few disasters in the kitchen, but it never phased him at all and he just giggled his way through them and produced a great looking meal for everyone

This programme certainly showcased the Jonathan that his fans know and love as a guy who can laugh at himself and have a good time and not as a stuffy/posh 'opera singer' as some would have him made out to be - a real insight into the man himself at his best - fun-loving and ever so funny !!!

MC Harvey & Jonathan - well, they could be the next Morcambe & Wise if last night was anything to go by, both from 2 very different genres in music and getting on so well. It was a real pleasure to watch them bantering away with each other

Shame they didn't have an episode for each celeb and I would have hated to have been editing that lot if the stuff they cut out was half as good as what they showed.

Well worthy of a repeat I say as it certainly brightened up my night.

Looking forward to Ready Steady cook next - and all the reviews and pics from the CFM at the movies concert at the RAH - on Thursday.

Ready Steady Cook wil be super

I'm guessing it will Natalie. Cant wait.

The fans pictures from outside afterwards were brilliant!

And how fetching did Jonathan look in red!

Going to see Jonathan at the Royal Albert Hall tonight - ClassicFM Live. Should be a fun night with the Chinese pianist Lang Lang as well - he is going to open the Beijing games - just thought hope we don't get any protesters ...

Sounds like it was a great night for Jonathan Daisy Chain.

Some great reviews and photos on Jonathans OS:

And excellent news that the concert is going to be broadcast on CFM Radio soon - I will post up the date on here when we know it.

Great night for Jonathan last night - very 'at home' with both ClassicFM and the Royal Albert Hall. He just excels live with an orchestra behind him

Looking forward to the next outing at the Classical Brits in May

I was up in the gods for the concert but I was even higher up when Jonathan sung
Shivers down my spine lump in my throat
Its start of mega stardom for him

The concert will be broadcast on CFM radio on 2nd May at 9pm as part of The Full Works programme!

So looking forward to it!

Jonathan is No 8 in the Classical Artist chart Sunday 20th April - which gives him 9 weeks in the Top Ten of the classical artists chart! 4 of those at No 1 and 4 in the top 5!

Fingers crossed he can stay top ten for one more week which would give him 10 weeks in the top ten of the classical chart.

Jonathan going to do City showcase on June 5th at St Giles,London

Jonathan also doing a tour
Glasgow,Bristol,Brighton and Bournmouth concerts now on sale

Lovely blog from Jonathan. Cant wait to hear what news he has for us on the singing and music!

Wonderful news about the tour. A classical concert with orchestra! What I have always hoped and dreamed of.

"Also Jonathan Ansell, former front man of X Factor “Popera” group G4, will be delighting audiences as he takes to the showcase stage. With G4, Jonathan achieved 3 hit albums, record sales in excess of 2 million and a sold out performance at the Royal Albert Hall. Since his departure from G4, a record label bidding war has taken place which resulted in a £1 million pound, 5 album deal with Universal Music Group. His first solo album ‘Tenors at the Movies’ was released last February and went straight to No.1 in the Classical Charts and No.9 in the Pop Charts. Promising to deliver G4 hits as well as material from his new solo album, Jonathan’s performance is one not to be missed."

Thank you for posting it

Really excited as it's the Classical Brits on Thursday and I'm going !!! Always wanted to go to this and I had decided even before Jonathan was announced as performing, so 'icing on the cake'

It is going to be an amazing night with Sarah Brightman/Andrea Bocelli, Bryn Terfel, Nigel Kennedy, Josh Groban all said to be performing along with Jonathan and Hayley Westenra of course

To be show on TV on 15th May ITV1

Jonathan was on Market Place yesterday - thanks to Joanne on the OS for recording it:

Good luck to Jonathan and Hayley tonight at the classical Brits - hope everything goes well with the duet. And good luck to Hayley - for her album in the brit awards - hope she wins.

Just watched my video of today's RSC aww how brilliant was that -the food looked beautiful and Jonathan and Hayley came across so well -Jonathan so has to do celebrity masterchef he's so at home cooking. And Un giorno per noi -aww how beautiful was that -totally loved it .

Brilliant appearance for both Jonathan and Hayley-they did great.


Looking forward to tomorrows Grand Designs appearance and news from the Classical Brits later tonight -such a brilliant occasion for Jonathan to be performing at and he so deserves it .

I voted for Hayley-hope she wins ..very exciting to think next year hopefully Jonathan will be nominated.

WOW !!

Jonathan has certainly been doing well on TV last week then - Market Kitchen, Ready, Steady, Cook and Grand Designs

Classical Brits was an amazing night and the performance from Hayley & Jonathan was utterly spectacular !! Even had Lord Lloyd Webber turning in his seat I heard

Looking forward to seeing it all again on TV tomorrow (Thursday) ITV1 10.35pm and nice to see Hayley & Jonathan featured in the ad for it too
