Britain's Got Talent contestant cleared of rape gives 'rebuilding' statement

Andrew Johnston, a 30-year-old former Britain's Got Talent finalist, was found not guilty of all charges related to accusations of sexual offences involving two women at Southwark Crown Court in 2025.
He faced charges of raping one woman and sexually assaulting another, but testified both women had told a pack of lies during the trial.
Johnston, who gained fame in 2008 and signed with Simon Cowell, said he has lost everything in five years and never sang since the allegations began.
After the verdict, Johnston said, "I'm just glad it's over, it's been super stressful," and he plans to "slowly be rebuilding my life".
The jury of nine women and three men found him not guilty, allowing Johnston to seek to regain his life after years of public doubt and personal loss.
