In a finale aired on Top Billing on SABC3 on Tuesday 14 August, boy-next-door Jonathan Boynton-Lee was named as the winner of the My Top Billing Dream reality show hosted by the channel over the past three months.
“This year was particularly hard to choose a winner as we had such talented finalists, but ultimately Jonathan won us over,” said judge and co-executive producer of Top Billing, Patience Stevens.
“Right from the start when he first auditioned in Johannesburg we recognised something special in him – especially the way he spoke to us from the heart – but like the others nine finalists, he was put through his paces until we were absolutely sure he was exactly what we wanted for Top Billing.”
The final four included Zama, who was a hot contender from the start as she had the most presenting experience – not to mention oodles of confidence; Chamendran, the sexy doctor with a great sense of humour; bubby Lynelle with her golden voice and gorgeous curls and Jonathan with his boyish charm and dashing good looks.
Jonathan studied Drama and Television at Rhodes University describes himself as a “starving actor, philantropist and hopeless romantic”.
