The winners will star in a National Theatre tour of new musical ‘The Band’, featuring the songs of Take That.

Jordan said: “This is an incredible opportunity. I still haven’t taken it all in, to be honest.

“I get a massive shock every time I see myself on the telly. My friends and I watched the first episode together and everyone kept cheering whenever I appeared on screen, even if it was just for a second.

“Meeting Gary Barlow and Amber Riley is without a doubt the most nerve-wracking thing I’ve ever done. I didn’t need to worry though. They were both lovely in the end.”
