Rejected Ashley won't be new Nancy
Ashley became the seventh contestant to be eliminated from BBC One's talent show I'd Do Anything.
Following a public vote Niamh and Ashley emerged as the least popular Nancies and Andrew Lloyd Webber decided to save Niamh.
On the live show, all six remaining performers sang songs chosen to display the various traits attributed to Nancy's character in attempt to persuade judges they were the perfect candidate to land the lead roll in the West End production of Oliver!
Ashley said: "This experience has had its ups and downs but overall it's been great.
"It's built my character and I look forward to the new things that come along.
"One thing I do want to say is that I didn't lose my identity throughout the whole thing. I stayed me, kept professional and did the best job I could which is good enough for me!"
The remaining hopefuls go on to next week's show when they will again perform in a bid to win the role in a West End musical.
