Any Dream Will Do finalists, Lewis Bradley and Ben Ellis, have been friends since attending the Italia Conti drama school in London. But taking part in the BBC show has not helped their friendship. In fact if reports are to believed the rivalry between the pair is tearing their friendship apart.

A BBC1 insider told The People:
“In the beginning they stuck together like glue.

“Now they’re not even rehearsing within earshot of each other. It’s certainly very frosty between the pair.”

Lewis, 17, got upset after Denise Van Outen said his singing last week was “disappointing”.

Fellow judge John Barrowman then told him to “take note” from 18-year-old Ben.

Our source added: “Their friendship has definitely taken second place to their ambitions to win the role of Joseph.

“Lewis didn’t like being told to take a leaf out of Ben’s book. He wants to turn things around.”
