Jack Schofield

Originally from Leeds, Jack is currently in his first year studying biology at Newcastle University with the ambition to qualify as a teacher and travel the world. Now aged 19, his arthritis symptoms began around the age of seven, when he was diagnosed with JIA. Jack also has a neurological disorder which can cause his joints to temporarily stop working when they become too swollen and to wobble when he’s out of his chair. Alongside his twin brother, Jack starred in - and won - popular BBC One game show, The Wall, presented by Danny Dyer. After sharing some of the cash prize with their family, the brothers are planning a three-week trip to the US.
