But for one couple their Grease journey has come to an end and this week the decision rested on David Ian’s shoulders and making the most difficult decision so far in the competition. But the Judges were unanimous and for Wayne and Hayley it’s the end of the road as they chose to save Bradley and Michelle, who the Judges felt had much more to offer.

Tonight’s highlights include:

Wayne Smith & Hayley Clarke and Bradley Clarkson & Michelle Antrobus polled the lowest public votes, much to the Judges shock, and the two couples faced the sing-off to win the Judges vote.

With his birthday yesterday, David Gest took the opportunity to thank Chris Moyles for making it such a special day for him, “I had a lovely morning thanks to Chris Moyles in his waiting room, and he even bought me an alarm clock with a crucifix on it! If you are watching Chris don’t turn over, I love you big guy!”

Sinitta’s got all the bling in the studio tonight, with over £250,000 worth of diamonds around her neck, producers had to draft in extra security.

Danny Rhodes and Lauren McConnell faced harsh criticism from the judges, with Sinitta even saying she would have to slap herself if they got the West End role as she’d feel she’d not done her job properly.

During the dress rehearsal and after their performance of Queen’s hit Don’t Stop Me Now, Vicky Hoyles commented to partner Michael, do you think Freddie will be watching?? Michael had to point out that Freddie hadn’t been with us for sometime..!

And did David Ian hint that the couples may be changes around after there was disappointment all round from the Judges tonight? With David Ian commenting that “After tonight?s performances I think we have got some of the coupling wrong.”

Wayne Smith got a big thumbs-up from all the judges and is astonished by his progress through the rounds so far.

The 26-year-old cabaret singer from Preston has been performing mainly at holiday parks for the last five years and hopes to one day sing in the US, after taking a holiday in LA and falling in love with the country.

Despite admitting he was not fully aware of his own capabilities Wayne is remaining grounded.

“I pretty much have everything I want at the moment except for the dream job,” he says.

And what if he won the role of Danny? “It would totally change my life and be a massive breakthrough in my career. That would be the greatest achievement of my life.”

Wayne’s partner in the live shows is 18-year-old Hayley Clarke a student from Liverpool.

Having ditched the tongue piercing, Hayley has been praised by the judges for having power and charisma.

Having come from a family of actors, Hayley’s dad was in Brookside and is currently in Coronation Street, you would think Hayley’s ambition would be to follow in their footsteps but her

Ultimate ambition has always been to become a professional singer like her idols Christina Aguilera and Pink.

However, she has always dreamed of starring in Grease.

“I have wanted to be Sandy since I was a baby. I was always singing the Grease songs and have watched it for years,” she says.

“I know that I am passionate enough to be Sandy and I have got the talent, otherwise I would have got this far.”

The Story So Far…

* During Hayley’s first singing audition at Bootcamp, David Ian said he was ‘pleased with her’ but thought she was a bit of a ‘plain Jane’. Brian and Sinitta disagreed saying they ‘loved her.’ They also discussed her tongue piercing and told her to take it out.

* David’s Ian and Gest disagreed about Hayley at Bootcamp. David Ian said he liked her but David Gest didn’t think she was good enough.

* Brian said she ‘packed quite a voice in her little body’ but he said he needed to see a more sexy Sandy.

History

* Hayley was born and raised in Liverpool where she lives with her mum, dad and until recently, her sister- all three are actors. Her dad, in particular, has had a lot of success; first staring in Liverpool-based soap Brookside as the loveable character Sinbad. He recently joined the cast of Coronation Street.

* Hayley is currently in the middle of her A-Levels and also has a part-time job as a waitress.

* Hayley was part of a ‘group show’ for five years called ‘Starlite’, where she toured pubs and clubs.

How does it feel to have got this far?

“It still hasn’t sunk in yet at all. I’m trying to take each step as it comes but sometimes it just hits me and I want to scream! It has been very emotional to get this far and you don’t realise it until you actually get a little break and go back to reality and I was emotionally drained.”

What are you looking forward to about moving to the house in London?

“I’m actually looking forward to having a birthday party and celebrating my 18th with everybody.”

Is there anything that you are worried about in the next stage?

“I know there’s going to be a lot of criticism but I am prepared for it and I know that there’s good and bad sides to everything so I’m just going to enjoy my time there. I know that I am passionate enough to be Sandy and I have got the talent, otherwise I would not have gotten this far.”

What does it mean to you to play Sandy?

“I have wanted to be Sandy since I was a baby; I was always singing the

Grease songs and have watched it for years. I have always wanted to be on the stage and see this as the perfect opportunity because it’s a musical I love!”

How do you think you would handle fame?

“I really don’t know how I would handle fame. I know that I would try my best

to stay as myself and not forget who I really am. If I won the first thing I

would do is throw a huge party for my family and friends and celebrate in style!”

What’s your ultimate ambition?

“My ultimate ambition has always been to become a professional singer. I have never really thought about the fame and fortune because I just want to be able to do what I love and show people that I can do it.”

Who are your idols?

“Christina Aguilera was always one of my idols because I love her music as

well as her voice, but my idol at the moment is Pink because she’s so

different and her music is amazing. I particularly respect artists who write

their own music because it shows passion and true talent.”

What’s your main talent?

“My main talent is my singing and I feel most confident in this talent. I

also feel that one of my special skills is being able to sleep longer than

anyone else in the family!!”

What do you think of the judges?

“I remember the judges saying that I have power and charisma which really gave me a confidence boost because nobody really knows what to expect and that made me feel a lot more comfortable and pushed me to work even harder.”
