Stardom beckons for I’d Do Anything runner-up Jessie
For the disappointment of coming second in Saturday’s cliffhanger final of BBC’s I’d Do Anything contest has only made the musical-mad 18-year-old more determined to carve out a career on the stage.
Millions of viewers across Britain and Ireland watched Jessie battle it out with her last two surviving rivals out of some 10,000 hopefuls who initially auditioned for the show. But despite attracting rave reviews from a judging panel, that included industry supremos Andrew Lloyd Webber and Cameron Mackintosh, she lost out on the public phone-in vote to 28-year-old Jodie Prenger from Blackpool.
