Blackpool's Nancy hopeful Jodie Prenger says she feels so "proud" at what she has achieved on the show so far.

The Newton Drive 28-year-old is into the final five of the Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber search for a leading lady to play Nancy in hit musical Oliver in the West End.

She said: "It really makes me feel proud, that's the only word you can use to summarise it, it's a privilege to be here and you've got to work for it.

"All that work pays off though. My mum and dad were chuffed after the show, my mum even started crying."

Jodie is in to the quarter-finals of I'd Do Anything, after another excellent performance last week, earning rave reviews for her rendition of If I Aint Got You.

She said:"I can't tell you how much I've learnt, cramming ten years of coaching into a few weeks. It's been the most phenomenal experience I'll ever have."

She will sing again on BBC One on Saturday at 7.45pm.
