1: Lee Mead: This week saw a return to form when Lee sang I think I’d Better Leave Right Now. It was an emotional performance and his vocals were impeccable. Lee has always been one of my favourites and tonight I could really see him on a West End stage. Read more & comment »
Any Dream Will Do finalists, Lewis Bradley and Ben Ellis, have been friends since attending the Italia Conti drama school in London. But taking part in the BBC show has not helped their friendship. In fact if reports are to believed the rivalry between the pair is tearing their friendship apart.
A BBC1 insider told The People:
“In the beginning they stuck together like glue.
“Now they’re not even rehearsing within earshot of each other. It’s certainly very frosty between the pair.”
Lewis, 17, got upset after Denise Van Outen said his singing last week was “disappointing”.
Fellow judge John Barrowman then told him to “take note” from 18-year-old Ben.
Our source added: “Their friendship has definitely taken second place to their ambitions to win the role of Joseph.
“Lewis didn’t like being told to take a leaf out of Ben’s book. He wants to turn things around.”
Lewis Bradley, 17
A student originally from Middlesborough, now living in London
Born and raised in Middlesborough, Lewis moved to London at the age of 13 to study at the Italia Conti School of Performing Arts.
He got down to the final 15 for the film version of Billy Elliot and has also been a member of a boyband.
He claims that he would make a “fresh, poppy and unique Joseph.”
Lewis auditioned in London, and simply describes the experience as “very surreal!”
