A HAMPSHIRE born teenager's dream of becoming the next Joseph are still alive.

In front of millions of TV viewers, 17-year-old Antony Hansen won his latest bid for the lead role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

But the heat is now very much on because next Saturday two Joseph hopefuls will be eliminated.

But for Olivia Harrington, of Lymington, the hopes of landing a leading West End role in the new production of Grease have been dashed.

Lifelong Grease fan Olivia had beaten off more than 30,000 Sandy wannabes to make it through to the new ITV reality show.

She was one of 34 girls who after getting through the auditions were bidding to fill the role made famous by Olivia Newton-John.

Hampshire's Olivia made her exit from the TV show after failing to get through to the final.

But her hopes of getting to the West End stage are not completely over.

Olivia has revealed to the Daily Echo that she could still appear in the Grease musical as one of the Pink Ladies, the girl gang in the musical, after she was offered an audition.
