Samantha Barks is preparing for her biggest challenge yet in BBC television's 'I'd do anything'.
The 17 year-old from Laxey booked her place in the semi-final of the talent show at the weekend, and yet again enjoyed enough support from the voting public to avoid the dreaded 'sing-off'.
Samantha (pictured) is bidding for the role of Nancy in a forthcoming West End production of the musical Oliver!
She won her place in the last four with a performance of the song Defying Gravity from the show Wicked.
