Danny B, Anthony in 'Grease' final

Danny Bayne and Anthony Kavanagh made it through to the final of Grease Is The Word last night.

Danny Rhodes and Michael Quinn left the competition in the all-important boys' semi-final, which tested the ability of the remaining male contestants to "captivate an audience". Judge David Ian had described it as their biggest challenge to date.

After all four contestants had performed once, the judges were asked to eliminate one hopeful. They chose Rhodes after expressing doubt about his suitability in the role of Danny.

"In my heart I knew I was off home tonight, because in my heart I wanted these boys to have the opportunity," Rhodes explained.

Bayne, Kavanagh and Quinn then performed for a second time in a bid to impress the public. With only two places available, it was Michael who was left disappointed after polling the least number of votes.

"It's not goodbye," David Ian promised. "We will definitely be working together again in the future.”

Grease Is The Word returns for the Sandy semi-final next Saturday at 7.55pm on ITV1.
