Soapstar Superstar 2007

‘Emmerdale’ actress Verity Rushworth (AKA Donna Dingle) has become the latest contestant to be voted off the ITV’s
‘Soapstar Superstar’.

Verity faced harsh criticisms from judge Billy Sammeth, who said: “Being charitable, that was terrible. It’s a miracle you’re still on stage.”

When she was voted off the show, she responded to his comments, saying: “I’m relieved I don’t have to listen to Billy again.”

Verity Rushworth nearly missed last night’s launch show of Soapstar Superstar on ITV1 due to a excruciating toothache.

Verity, who plays Donna Dingle in Emmerdale, was rushed to a dentist and bosses feared she would be unable to perform.

An insider at the ITV1 show said: “She was in agony and couldn’t sleep.

“We thought she may have to pull out.�

Richard Fleeshman was the viewers’ Soapstar Superstar for 2006 – but who will win the viewers’ vote and take the accolade in the new series of the hit event?

The newest series of Soapstar Superstar launches tomorrow night on ITV1.

Zoe Ball hosts the new series that will see some of the UK’s favourite soap stars take to the stage nightly and go head-to-head to become a singing superstar.

Facing the ultimate sing-off in 2007 is:

Gemma Atkinson (Lisa Hunter – Hollyoaks In The City)
Antony Cotton (Sean Tully – Coronation Street)
Jane Danson (Leanne Battersby – Coronation Street)
Tupele Dorgu (Kelly Crabtree – Coronation Street)
Alan Fletcher (Dr Karl Kennedy – Neighbours)
Leon Lopez (Scott Windsor – Emmerdale)
Mark Furze (Eric ‘Ric’ Dalby – Home & Away)
Elaine Lordan (Lynne Hobbs – EastEnders)
Verity Rushworth (Donna Windsor-Dingle – Emmerdale)
Hayley Tamaddon (Delilah Dingle – Emmerdale)
Matthew Wolfenden (David Metcalf – Emmerdale)

And the plot thickens as it will be the viewers who have the ultimate control; not only do they vote to save their favourite soapstar they also get to choose the songs they will be singing.

With commentary from our panel of expert judges and a rehearsal schedule that sees each artist learning their selected song in just
24 hours, the drama won’t be confined to the stage.

Verity Rushworth (Donna Windsor-Dingle, Emmerdale)

What’s your favourite musical style?
Favourite musical style has to be blues and swing, especially big band stuff. I love it. Suits everybody to a T.

Who is your favourite artist?
The artists I like are kind of like big singers like Barbara Streisand and people from the musicals like Bernadette Peters, people like that I really like. But then I have to mention Christina Aguilera, for the R & B pop princess.

What’s your earliest singing memory?
About age five I think, in a show at drama school and I’d broken my arm and was dressed as a flower and I was popping out of a flower pot with a broken arm, so I had one arm working and I just remember singing around and skipping a lot.

Musically, who would you compare yourself to?
I’ve got no idea. I kind of go through phases. When I had my vocal session she said you need to be a bit more rockier here, a bit more poppy there, a bit more this there, she said I sound like a girl in a musical. A bit like Julie Andrews. So I need to relax a bit more and get a bit more funky.

What can the audience expect from you?
Exciting performances and lots of jigging about and giggling. I’m just going to give it my all. I’m going to try and strut. I’ve been watching Christina, because I’ve got one of her songs, so I’m going to practice strutting and just, you know, have a laugh.

What would your character say?
Donna Windsor Dingle would die. I think she’d absolutely love it, because she likes being in the attention, especially with the modelling storylines she used to do. But, as far as the singing goes, she can’t sing to save her life, so she’d be horrified, but she’d probably find it quite funny.

How do your friends and family feel about it?
My friends and family have been really supportive and positive, they can’t wait for me to do it. My friends have told me not to be a geek, because I’m known as a bit of a geek and try to be cool, calm and sophisticated and my mum said that as well, which is going to be hard, but I’ll try.

Did you watch last year?
Yes, I came to watch a few times last year and watched on the telly. I came to the part, you know, the girls from Emmerdale, Lucy, Sammy and Roxy, and put my votes in as well, so I was up dancing at the front.

What are your top three artists and albums?
Three artists would be Maroon 5 and their album ‘Songs About Jane’, I love that. Then it would have to be ‘West Side Story’ and the song ‘I Have a Love’, definitely. And then for a funky one it would have to be ‘I Want to Dance with Somebody’, Whitney, her greatest hits.

It has been revealed that Zoe Ball will be the new host of this years series of Soapstar Superstar.

Zoe said: “As a huge soap fan – I have watched Coronation Street since I was a little girl and I watched it with my Nan – I was a huge fan of Soapstar Superstar last year.

“I nearly wet my pants when I was asked to host it this time. I can’t wait to get all the inside gossip at the show and see who’s the prima donna, who’s the saucy one, who’s the trouble- causer.

“Of course I won’t be showing any bias, although as I’ve already mentioned I am a huge Coronation Street fan!

“I am very excited about the show – the only thing you won’t catch me doing is singing – because I have the worst singing voice ever!�

Executive Producer Rachel Ashdown said: “This year we have some singers in the competition who have never sung on television before so there are sure to be some great surprises.

“You might think you know the soap stars from what you see in your favourite soaps but you will be blown away by just how talented this bunch is.

“This is the show were the viewers really are in control and ultimately they will pick their winner.

“I think the soap stars are really excited, but with the show going live on January 5th they better not be doing too much shouting at New Year’s Eve!

“There aren’t many shows as ambitious as this on television but we had a brilliant team who made it last year and have come back for more this time.â€?

Soapstar Superstar will be shown on ITV1, Friday 5th January 2007, 9:00 PM to 10:30 PM. For the full list of who is taking part click here
