'Big' Nancy Jodie Prenger
Friday, 30 May 2008
'I'd Do Anything' hopeful Jodie Prenger has been slammed by show producer Cameron Mackintosh, who thinks she is "too big" to play Nancy in a new London production of 'Oliver!'
Jodie is a finalist on the talent-search show and the show's judge, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, has revealed his colleague doesn't think she'll fit the part she is competing for.
He said: "Cameron thinks she is a bit too big and has more or less said so. Jodie could be anybody's idea of Nancy - I can see it absolutely. She has got a lovely voice and a super personality.
"She has got experience as well".
Jodie - who will compete in the show's final tomorrow night (31.05.08) against Jessie Buckley and Samantha Barks - is the current favourite to win the competition.
Andrew added: "Samantha's strength is that she has got a fabulous voice. She has got all the notes and, if she wins it, she will need to build the voice. Jessie has something extraordinary."
