Chris Crosby has become the first finalist to leave BBC’s Any Dream Will Do.
After a decent vocal performance of Maroon 5’s hit ‘This Love’, both Denise Van Outen and Andrew Lloyd Webber thought that Chris was too boyish and skinny to play Joseph and it seems as though their criticisms may have influenced the voters.
Chris ended up in the bottom two with Ben Ellis from Scarborough, and they were required to sing ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ together, before Lord Lloyd Webber used his casting vote to save Ben.

A clothes shop sales assistant originally from Nottingham and now living in Notting Hill, London.
Clothes shop sales assistant Chris grew up in Nottingham and moved to London at the age of 13 when he was awarded a place at the prestigious Silvia Young Theatre School.
He claims that he would be a “contemporary and soulful Joseph” who would bring “intrigue” to the part.
Chris attended the auditions in London and has found it an “unbelievable, extremely surreal and amazing experience.”
