My six-year-old son Bradley loves telling people his dad\u2019s a soldier.<br \/>\n\u201cAll the lads are super behind me, this would be the biggest morale boost I could give them, it\u2019s fair to say that I\u2019m more scared when in front of the judges than I am of going to Afghanistan, because I have trained for Afghanistan.\u201d<br \/>\nHis son Bradley added: \u201cI think my dad\u2019s got The X Factor.\u201d<br \/>\nOn stage Jonjo revealed how his wife was due to give birth to a little boy in just 14 days, adding nervously: \u201cI hope I don\u2019t mess it up!
