The showbiz community of Blackpool gathered today to show their support for budding West end star Jodie Prenger.
The Blackpool born singer and actress is in the final six of the BBC's Saturday night prime time show I'd Do Anything, which is on tomorrow, at 7.30pm, with the results show on Sunday, at 7.35pm.
The winner will play Nancy in a multi-million pound production of Oliver!
Friends of Jodie recruited characters from most of Blackpool's top attractions, including the Tower, Sandcastle, Louis Tussaud's, Pleasure Beach, Doctor Who Experience and the Sea Life Centre.
Blackpool's first citizen, Mayor Robert Wynne, was also on hand to give his support to Jodie as the show's producers filmed her supporters.
They were welcomed on the Promenade by town crier Barry McQueen, who hailed Jodie as the North West Nancy.
