In a Q&A session with the BBC's "Last Choir Standing" website, Ansell gave his views on the benefits of being part of a choir: "People see choirs on stage and predominantly it looks quite square... but off stage that's where all the fun happens – in rehearsals, messing about, lunch breaks, interacting with new people. That, for me, is what choirs are all about – having that fun both on and off stage." Jonathan made a guest appearance on "Last Choir Standing" (Results Show) on 3 August 2008 performing "Barcelona".
