LAXEY teenager Samantha Barks has made it through to the final of the BBC's I'd Do Anything.
The 17-year-old will now battle it out in the final three next week to become Nancy in Cameron Mackintosh's new production of Oliver!
Sam sang When You Believe, from Disney's The Prince of Egypt, and Jesus Christ Superstar with Jodie Prenger – who also made it through to the final, along with Jessie Buckley.
There were nail-biting moments for Sam, however, when she found herself in the bottom two sing off with Rachel Tucker, who had earlier received a standing ovation and glowing comments for her rendition of Cabaret.
It was Sam's first time in the sing off.
The pair sang Memory, from Cats, and then faced Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, who chose to save Sam for the final and send Rachel home. He said: 'I've got to think of where the show ultimately for Cameron (Mackintosh) is going to go and I think I have got to go with you Samantha.'
It was the last opportunity for 'The Lord' to save one of his favourites - next week the public decides who wins the dream role.
All eyes will be on the talented teen on Saturday night
