Notes to Editors
Μύ
As Emilie Alford and Laura Sicurello both won their places in the final 10 after a tense final sing-off in front of Andrew and the panel, Siobhan Dillon, who had seemingly been a dead cert from the early stages, lost out dramatically.
Μύ
Having been ill for seven days she just could not prove her vocal talent or her consistency and they voted against her.
Μύ
But in a twist of fate, Emilie later decided that this path was not for her or her voice and shockingly pulled out - leaving one Maria-shaped space. As Siobhan had been their next choice - she replaced Emilie as the final Maria.
