Michelle Antrobus has promised that tonight’s final of ITV’s Grease Is The Word, will be a friendly one. She insists that she will be happy if Susan McFadden wins and is sure that the feeling would be mutual.

“We both wanted to be together in the final because we get on very well,” Michelle told the Daily Record. “I think it’s friendly competition and we both know we’ve done really well to get this far.

“We’re so different as well. I’m a brunette and she’s a blonde. But it won’t be nasty competition.”

From the tens of thousands of people who initially auditioned, just four contestants remain. Only two will win the coveted West End roles to become Sandy and Danny on stage in the hit musical Grease.

With just two girls and two boys left, competition is fierce and this Saturday Susan McFadden takes on Michelle Antrobus and Danny Bayne goes head to head with Anthony Kavanagh.

From the first auditions in London and Manchester, through to Bootcamp and then to the live studio shows, each of these four contestants has been on a massive personal journey.

There have been shocks and surprises along the way as the judges kept them all on their toes to gauge both talent and how they cope under pressure. From initially competing in couples, the contestants were devastated to have their couplings changed and then were further challenged when they learned they were to go head to head and compete on their own in an all boys and then all girl’s semi-final.

Living together in the Grease house in North London they have all become close friends but on Saturday night these friendships will be put aside as all are determined to win.

The two winners will be put straight to work, rehearsing for their roles with the rest of the Grease cast ready for the opening night at the Piccadilly theatre on the 8th August. Since 29th March when booking opened the box office has taken five and a half million pounds in advance sales.

The two girls voted off Saturday nights Grease Is The Word have spoken to the press today to state that they believe the show has been fixed from day one.

Shocked Alison said: “I think the judges have had an agenda from day one. They’ve known all along who they wanted for the parts regardless of how anyone else performed. All the contestants know it – it’s so obvious.

“I didn’t expect them to get rid of me like that. I wanted…a fair decision. That didn’t happen.”

Alison also told The Daily Mirror newspaper that she believes the judges are tryoing to kmake sure that Susan McFadden and Danny Bayne win the show.

Furious Vicky said: “I know it’s down to the public now, but the judges will definitely try and influence the vote so Susan and Danny B win.

Alison added: ” None of the judges ever came down to our acting classes. We’ve been doing the show for months but David Ian doesn’t even know me.

“Maybe they want someone they can control more.”

An ITV spokeswoman said: “The judges don’t have any say in Saturday’s final. It’s down to a public vote and the public alone will choose their favourite Danny and Sandy.

“Paul Nicholas has worked closely with the girls and has reported back to the panel thoroughly so the judges are very aware of each contestant’s singing, acting and dancing abilities.”

Bradley and Michelle are one of the few couples that have been together since the first day of auditions at Bootcamp, and with Bradley showing signs of a soft spot for Michelle could we see romance blossom? Maybe these two were fated to be together. Having both studied at Mount View Academy, but in different years, their paths crossed for the first time at the auditions for Grease.

Student, Bradley Clarkson, 25 from Hertfordshire once worked as an usher handing out ice cream in a West End theatre. He has since come full circle and is hoping to wow the judges and viewers with his acting and singing skills.

“I have loved Grease since I was a kid and my sister Lydia and I can even now recite most of the film script,” says Bradley.

“Grease is accessible to all. To be part of it, with the opportunity to entertain millions singing songs from the UK’s favourite musical – it’s the biggest break I’m going to get!”

Sandy, to Bradley’s Danny is 24-year-old Michelle Antrobus a student from Winchmore Hill. She has received positive feedback from all of the judges and on the second day of Bootcamp, David Ian said she was the best Sandy he had seen so far.

Currently studying at Mount View Academy of Theatre Arts, Michelle says winning the part of Sandy would mean the world to her.

“Since I was little I’ve always wanted to be in the West End. I’ve always wanted to play a role of someone that is similar to me and I think that I have a lot of Sandy qualities in me.”
