Darius becomes latest Pop Idol reject

Darius Danesh has become the latest contestant to leave Pop Idol.

He sang Toploader's "Dancin' in the Moonlight" and The Walker Brothers' "Make it Easy on Yourself", both songs chosen by the judges.

Hosts Ant and Dec revealed the two finalists, William Young and Gareth Gates, had polled 39.8% and 39.3 % of the 5.8 million votes but did not say which had which.

Both will go on an election-style campaign trail round London before next weeks show.
