Ben Ellis, 18

A student originally from Scarborough and now living in Hackney, London.

Born in Scarborough, Ben moved to London at the age of 16 to pursue his dream of making it as an actor and singer.

He is now studying Musical Theatre at The Italia Conti Academy of Performing Arts and says that he thinks he could be a “masculine and funny” Joseph who would bring energy to the part, but isn’t looking forward to wearing the sandals!

He auditioned in London and has found the experience “emotionally and mentally draining, but exciting at the same time.”
