A HAMPSHIRE-born teenager's dream of becoming the next Joseph has been shattered.

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

Antony, who now lives in Oxfordshire but whose family originally come from Hedge End, was rejected by West End supremo Lloyd Webber following a sing off after being voted into the bottom two by the public in BBC's latest musical reality show, Any Dream Will Do.
