Lee Mead was announced as the winner of Any Dream Will Do last night.

The 25-year-old singer and actor beat Keith Jack, 19, and Lewis Bradley, 17, in a live final which saw over three million votes cast by viewers. Mead impressed the public with performances of Elvis hit (You're The) Devil In Disguise, New York, New York and Paint It Black.

"The support for me grew every week and I thank everyone so much," Lee said after the results were announced. "Those that didn't vote, I'm going to go out there and give you a hell of a show."

Mead will now spend a month in rehearsals for his lead role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's new production of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at London's Adelphi theatre, which opens for previews on July 6. He has previously understudied in shows including Phantom of the Opera, Tommy and Miss Saigon.

"I'm absolutely delighted," Lloyd Webber explained. "Lee may have been an understudy, but he's never sung in front of me, or sung in front of millions of people before. He did a fantastic job."
