Britain's Got Talent duo Jonathan and Charlotte announce split

Britain's Got Talent runners-up Jonathan and Charlotte have announced they are splitting up to pursue solo careers.

The opera-singing pair - aka Jonathan Antoine and Charlotte Jaconelli - finished second to Ashleigh and Pudsey in the 2012 series of the show,

They went on to enjoy success as a duo with their first two albums - but according to the Mirror they have now gone their separate ways, blaming the split on 'creative differences'.

"They just weren't on the same page creatively any more," a source told the paper.

"Their last album featured some solo songs and they decided that's what they wanted to do."

Jonathan and Charlotte wowed the panel with their singing prowess when they appeared on Britain's Got Talent in 2012.

However their split echoes the advice that Simon Cowell gave them at the time - suggesting that Jonathan should ditch Charlotte and attempt to make it as a solo performer.
