The first tribute act to be voted off tonight’s live BBC One show was Greg Dorrell after failing to convince the nation that he was The One And Only… Rod Stewart.

In the first live show of the series, hosted by Graham Norton, the 12 tribute acts were put through their paces as they each sang a solo song, aiming to capture the very essence of their musical superstar in front of a studio audience including their friends and family and the Superfans who chose them.

The two tribute acts with the least number of viewers’ votes who found themselves in the Superstar Sing-off, performing once again and fighting for a place in next week’s show, were Greg Dorrell as Rod Stewart and Evelyne Brink as Madonna.

After failing to persuade the audience at home to keep them in the show, the final fate of Greg and Evelyne was left to their rival acts in the Superstar Vote, where the ten tribute acts who were safe were asked to vote for the act they wanted to keep in the contest.

Eveylne won nine votes from tributes to Elton John, Frank Sinatra, Lionel Richie, Robbie Williams, Britney Spears, Cher, Diana Ross, Dusty Springfield and Kylie.

With only one vote, from the Tom Jones tribute act, Greg was the loser, his dreams of a three month performance contract in Vegas with the renowned Legends In Concert in tatters.
