Wannabee star Michael is out but not down

DRIVING Brian McFadden’s Ferrari was a small consolation for Michael Leonard, who has been eliminated from You’re a Star.

The 22-year-old from Belcoo, Co Fermanagh, was in the home of the Westlife star yesterday, after 625,000 voters chose to send Mickey Harte and Simon Casey through to the final.

"I was gutted when the result was announced but I've taken it on the chin and I feel absolutely grand now," said Michael yesterday.
