BECKENHAM'S own singing sensation Jon Lee started his career at a young age.

Jon was 12-years-old when he starred in the ever-popular musical Oliver.

A role in Eastenders followed, before he went on to become one of Britain's youngest pop stars.

He was still taking his GCSEs at the age of 15 when he auditioned for S Club 7, which would go on to become one of the most famous pop groups in the country from their first hit in 1999.

The group enjoyed massive success with bubblegum pop tunes such as Bring It All Back, Reach and Don't Stop Moving.

S Club split in 2003 and 23-year-old Jon went back to his musical theatre roots, playing Marius in Les Miserables.

He was back on the nation's TV screens early in 2006 as one of the stars in the Sound Of Musicals on BBC1.
