The stars are tuning into Strictly but it doesn’t seem that they can agree on who is set to win this weekend.

Jason Donovan, Harry Judd and Chelsee Healy will go head to head in the Blackpool Ballroom tomorrow night and Jo Joyner admitted that she is backing the former Neighbours star.

She said:

“What I love about Jason is that he is clearly a very good actor. When he gets a dance he can really get his head into, like the salsa, he gets into character and he’s all macho and it really works for him.”

Pixie Lott is getting behind the Australian too and explained:

“He just puts so much into it, loads of people love him for that.”

Meanwhile, Graham Norton is getting behind McFly star Harry Judd. He said:

‘I’d quite like Harry to win, because what a fabulous year for McFly!”

Chris Evans added:

“I do actually think he’s going to win. That boys is a natural…his lines…when he puts his arms and legs out they are so straight.”

Vernon Kaye is backing Waterloo Road actress Chelsee Healy for the win and commented:

“Chelsee has done me proud. She’s come so far. Her personality, her character has really shined through on the series this year.”

So who do you think will win Strictly Come Dancing this weekend? Leave your comments below.

Graham said of tonight’s show, “I think it’s between two. Sophie Evans and Danielle Hope are very young but they’re tough as old boots. It’s too close to call.”

Lauren Samuels remains in the running though, and Graham told The Sun that Andrew Lloyd Webber “loves all three contestants.”

He added, “I’ve never seen him [Andrew] more relaxed…

“It’s really down to the girls now. The stakes are high.

“Danielle is perhaps the most extraordinary young performer for her age I have ever worked with.”

And bookmakers have been busy taking bets on tonight’s final; Ladbrokes have Danielle as 8/11 favourite, with Sophie at 2/1 and Lauren at 5/1.

The show starts tonight at 7pm, with the results show at 8.55pm.

Over The Rainbow presenter Graham Norton has admitted that he feels sorry for the Dorothy wannabes who perform after Britain’s Got Talent starts.

The BBC reality TV show overlapped with the ITV talent show for half an hour last week and admitting that viewers often leave their show in favour of BGT, Graham told The Sun:

“I feel sorry for our girls as they’ve worked so hard. The ones on before BGT starts will be seen by more people.

“Those on after 8pm are hard done by. It’s not really fair.”

However, the evidence seems to suggest otherwise. Young Dani Rayner was eliminated from the show last week after receiving a low number of public votes, but she was the first girl to perform, well before Britain’s Got Talent started.

Over The Rainbow presenter Graham Norton has been gushing about his boss Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber and said that he thinks the musical genius is ‘one of the greats.’

“When we met, I was pleased we seemed to get on. But, five years on, I don’t just tolerate the man – I adore him,” Norton told the Daily Mail. “And he’s wonderful TV. He’s not trying to be the next Simon Cowell. He’s simply his glorious self.”

On Webber’s newest musical Phantom Of The Opera sequel Love Never Dies, the Irish star added: “He was taking such a massive risk. The first Phantom is the most successful piece of entertainment in the world. But he’s passionate about the story and I think this is his best score ever.

“I truly believe he’s one of the greats. When we’re dead, when all the Marias and Nancys and Dorothys are pushing up daisies, people will still be singing Andrew’s songs.”

Graham Norton has admitted that he is confused by the BBC’s decision to buy the rights for Nigel Lythgoe’s ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’

Norton claims that the format Lyhtgoe’s show is almost identical to an old BBC show, Strictly Dance Fever, which he fronted for BBC One in 2005 and 2006.

Norton told The Mirror: “I don’t understand why they’ve bought that format from Nigel Lythgoe, when it was a rip-off, sorry, inspired by the Beeb’s Strictly Dance Fever.

“I mean, you’re not reinventing the wheel, it’s a dance competition at the end of the day, but it’s odd for the BBC to buy it back when it was theirs in the first place.”

Veteran Eurovision presenter Terry Wogan has said that he loved Graham Norton’s coverage this year.

Terry Werry bulgy pants told the Radio Times he thought the contest was “a spectacular show without a flaw in it”.

Terry stepped down from the show after the 2008 contest in Belgrade, where the UK’s entrant Andy Abrahams finished last. He felt the voting system was flawed and biased.

“Contrary to what is often believed I love Eurovision, or I couldn’t have presented it for as long as I did,” Sir Terry said.

“This year they sorted the voting out, and I thought Graham Norton was excellent.

“People have said his approach was rather like mine, and all I can say is I take that as a compliment.”

The BBC have revealed that all contestants for Graham Norton’s new show ‘Totally Saturday’ are thoroughly vetted, to ensure they don’t have a Susan Boyle situation.

Susan had a very public breakdown after auditioning for ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent, the incident made BBC bosses look again at their procedures for guests on their shows.

Totally Saturday sees Graham Norton playing pranks, Jeremy Beadle style on unsuspecting members of the public.

A BBC insider told The Sun: “The order has come down from on high that they don’t want a Boyle on their hands.”

The insider added: “ Watching what happened on ITV horrified them. If anything that bad happened on the BBC it would have huge ramifications.”

Last night a BBC spokeswoman said Totally Saturday has a “great duty of care towards all involved in the show”.

She added: “The public are selected with extreme care and in line with BBC guidelines.”

I am going to be so torn tomorrow night. Which show do I watch live and which do I save for later? Britain’s Got Talent or Eurovision, which will you be choosing?

Jade Ewen is flying the flag for the UK, having won BBC talent search Your Country Needs You, and will be accompanied on piano by Andrew Lloyd Webber, who co-wrote Jade’s song, It’s My Time, with American lyricist Diane Warren. However, the UK will no doubt face stiff competition from the 24 other acts in a line-up decided from last week’s two semi-finals.

To top it all off Graham Norton will be taking over presenting duties from Terry Wogan which should be interesting to watch, lets hope he makes a few of his famous faux pas to liven the evening up!

In the clip above Matt Lucas and Graham Norton chat about Britain’s Got Talent singer Susan Boyle.

Norton thinks that “for a hairy woman with thick ankles she’s amazing! But as a singer she’s ok.” Whilst Lucas brands her “the best singer I’ve seen who looks like Bernard Manning.”

Cruel or funny? You decide!

Eurovision bosses have drafted in Andrew Lloyd Webber and Graham Norton to spice up next years Eurovision song contest.

Webber will lead an X Factor style show which will see him and a panel of judges choose England’s entry to the competition, the show will be presented by camp Norton.

A BBC insider told The Sun: “Millions of Brits watch the Eurovision but always leave disappointed that we’ve done so badly.

“So next year we’re going all out. Graham’s been drafted in to host and Lord Andrew will give his important input, possibly as part of a panel or as a mentor. There is likely to be a public voting element to it as well.

“Next year really could be the year Britain comes out on top.”
