Steph Fearon has become the eighth contestant to be voted off Over The Rainbow.

In this weekend's semi-finals, the 21-year-old found herself in the bottom two alongside Lauren Samuels after they received the fewest public votes.

Battling to stay in the competition, the pair then had to sing a rendition of 'Another Suitcase in Another Hall' from Evita in order to convince Andrew Lloyd Webber of their talents.

Upon his decision to save Lauren, Lord Webber commented: "I'm glad it’s the last time I have to make this decision. I know you all so well now, it's like family. I feel dreadful that I have to take a decision on who is best for Dorothy. I'm going to save Lauren."

On learning her fate, Steph said: "I had the best time of my life. I've made friends for life. I've learnt so much. Thanks to everyone backstage - you're all amazing. I've had the time of my life."

Danielle Hope, Lauren Samuels and Sophie Evans will fight for the public votes in next Saturday's live finale.

Over The Rainbow: The Final begins at 7pm on BBC One.
