Tom Bradley and Kate Somerset-How have become the first couple to be eliminated from ITV’s reality TV show, Grease Is The Word.

The pair found themselves in the bottom two with Bradley Clarkson and Michelle Antrobus and judge Brian Friedman was quick to tell the public that they had picked the wrong people. He reminded us that we are NOT voting for our best friends but for the best Sandy and Danny.

However the choice was made and the very talented Tom and Kate have left. Its a shame….

Grease Is The Word finalist, Kate Somerset-How may have to wear an eye patch on tonight’s first live TV show due to a freak accident.

An ITV1 spokeswoman told The Sun:

“Kate was play fighting with another contestant Wayne Smith when he accidentally hit her in the face.

“Now she may have to wear an eye-patch when she performs in Saturday’s show. She ran off crying when it happened and she is very upset.

“She was treated straightaway by the first aid team but we don’t know how serious the swelling is. But she didn’t have to go to hospital.

“We have told her to rest and she is wearing an eye-patch as a precaution at the moment.”

Tom was originally paired with Hayley Clarke, and Kate with Michael Quinn but the Judges decided to put Tom and Kate together after Bootcamp because they felt the two of them together had a strong look as a couple. And with Tom’s cheekiness they are hoping he will bring out the naughty side of an otherwise prim Kate.

Tom Bradley, a 19-year-old actor from Leicester was dubbed a ‘real life Danny’ by David Ian at his first audition and did not disappoint at Bootcamp.

Although he is young, Tom has worked as a singer on a cruise ship and has been involved in amateur theatre.

“I played Danny once before when we did Grease at school and it was the most fun I’ve ever had doing a show,” says Tom. Read more & comment »

“David Gest disliked all aspects of my performance and that spurred me on to change his mind during Bootcamp”

The Story So Far…

* Kate’s performance split the judges straight down the middle with David Gest saying her performance bored him, and Brian thinking the dancing was bad. David Ian thought she has a clear projected voice, and Sinitta agreed.

* Following her singing audition on the first day at Bootcamp, David Gest told her that she had won him over: “You did your homework, each time you get better and better and better.”

* Sinitta was impressed with her final performance when she performed in a couple. Brian was also impressed: “She’s a powerhouse. I’d written her off yesterday and but now she’s back.” Read more & comment »
