Jessica Robinson voted off Over The Rainbow

TEESSIDE starlet Jessica Robinson said it was “lovely to be home” today after she was voted off BBC1’s Over The Rainbow.


The 18-year-old is back on Teesside after her hope of landing the role of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz ended last night.

But Andrew Lloyd Webber said Jessica, from Normanby, was a “real star in the making”.

Jessica, who made it into the top five, told the Evening Gazette: “I am feeling absolutely fine and it is lovely to be home and out of the Dorothy bubble. I wasn’t shocked to be voted out as all the other girls are fantastic. The talent was so high.

“Making the top five was always my goal so I am really pleased that I managed to do that.”

Jessica was the second contestant to lose out in the weekend’s double elimination.

Her mum Judith said: “I am so proud of her. She has done incredibly well.

“It is a major achievement and I am absolutely thrilled for her.”

Jessica was forced into a sing-off with Danielle Hope after the pair received the fewest public votes last night.

The pair sang Take That Look Off Your Face from Tell Me On A Sunday in a bid to stay in the contest.

Andrew Lloyd Webber eventually saved Danielle.

He told Jessica: “‘I say this with the heaviest heart in the entire world, Jessica you are so wonderful and quirky, you’re a real star in the making.’’

Jessica, a former pupil of St Peter’s School, in Normanby, is now looking forward to attending leading London drama school ArtsEd, where she has gained a scholarship.

She said: “I have some meetings this week in London about where I can go from here but I am really looking forward to going to ArtsEd in September.

“In the meantime, who knows? It is funny because I was saying to the girls the other day that when I leave the show I was going to try and get a job in Topshop in Middlesbrough. They all told me I was being ridiculous as I wouldn’t need to do that. But I still need some money to prepare for stage school, so who knows.”

  1. Keep an eye on the letter box Jess, and the phone and your email!! Maybe Topshop is not the Best Shot in view of offers that you will probably receive!!
