Martyn featured on series six of ITV’s show Britain’s Got Talent in 2012.
He made it through to the semi-final stage with his famous act which saw him placing a pan on his head.
The performer was lovingly dubbed The Pan Man, and would impersonate a Dalek from Doctor Who.
In the semi-final, he entertained millions with a similar routine, pretending to be a “Dalek from Skipton”.
Before auditioning, Martyn was working as a mortgage underwriter.
Emotional tributes have poured in for Martyn following the sad news.
A pal posted a heartfelt message on Facebook writing: “RIP… He loved Skipton and he did a great Dalek impression.
“You may know him as ‘The Pan Man’ from Britain’s Got Talent, but Martyn Crofts was our friend.
“Sadly, he was found in Skipton reservoir today, after going missing yesterday.
“He will be a miss. Rest in peace my friend.”
After finding success on Britain’s Got Talent, Martyn went on to sing at residential homes, DJ at clubs and pubs, as well as host karaoke contests all over the UK.
He also brought joy to children’s parties dressed as Captain Banana.
