Nonetheless, everything worked out in the end for the now-famous musician.
During an interview with WalesOnline in September 2019,
the Gloucestershire native discussed how he went on to find his long-lost brother and discover that he had a brother he had no idea existed.
In that interview, Lenehan stated that he had no contact with
his biological father after his parents divorced, and he still does not,
but he did know he had an older brother and had been hunting for him for years.
“I don’t communicate with my father. But I’ve known I had a brother for years and have been looking for him.”
He went on to say that he got lucky one night and discovered his brother’s Facebook profile.
The following day, Leneham drove from his home in Wales to his brother’s home in Bournemouth.
“It was very emotional and really strange,” he said, continuing his statement.
How can you communicate with a brother you’ve never met? It was frightening how similar we were.”
And, upon seeing his long-lost brother,
who was supposedly 29 years old when he saw him,
he discovered that he had another younger brother, who was 16 at the time, whom he had never known existed.
“He’s 29 years old, and I recently discovered I have another younger brother, 16, whom I had no idea existed.”
Finally, Lenehan claimed that he discovered a bizarre fact while seeing his older brother.
He added that despite not knowing who he was, his brother, brother’s wife,
and nephew all voted for him on Britain’s Got Talent after hearing his and his musical duet, Leondre Devries’ performance on TV.
“And do you know what else is crazy?” he said. My brother, his wife,
and my nephew all voted for me after seeing me on television and having no idea who I was.”
