Keisha has become the fifth Nancy to be voted off I'd Do Anything with Graham Norton and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber
Keisha's dream is over as she becomes the fifth Nancy to be voted off BBC One's I'd Do Anything.
After this week's public vote Keisha and Niamh were the least popular Nancys and Andrew Lloyd Webber decided to save Niamh.
On Saturday's live show, all eight remaining Nancy finalists performed solo renditions of contemporary numbers chosen to show viewers that they have the skill and charisma to carry one of the most challenging roles in musical theatre, Nancy in Oliver!
After performing their songs and receiving feedback from Andrew Lloyd Webber and the judging panel of John Barrowman, Denise Van Outen and Barry Humphries, the Nancys faced a nervous wait for viewers to cast their votes.
Keisha and Niamh gained the least amount of public votes, and had to sing a rendition of The Rose (Bette Midler) in order to survive.
Then it was up to Andrew Lloyd Webber alone to choose which Nancy should be saved to sing again next week.
A visibly angry Andrew said: "First, I am going to say this is a complete and utter travesty, neither of you should be in the bottom two, it's completely wrong. Keisha, you did wonderfully tonight. I've been put into a situation that I have never wanted to be in. For the first time on a television show, I am angry. But I'm going to have to go with the majority of the panel and I'm going to save Niamh."
But Andrew Lloyd Webber had some encouraging last words for Keisha: "You were absolutely wonderful. I thought you caught my eye in the last routine. I think you have a huge career ahead of you and all I can say is that I'll do anything I can to help you."
So the Nancys left to fight it out next week are Ashley, Jessie, Jodie, Rachel, Samantha, Sarah and Niamh.
The remaining hopefuls will go on to next week's show at 7.05pm on Saturday on BBC One where they will again perform for the nation who will decide who should be Nancy in the new Cameron Mackintosh West End production of Oliver!
The songs featured in this week's show were:
Niamh: Valerie (Amy Winehouse)
Rachel: I'm With You (Avril Lavigne)
Jessie: Stop (Sam Brown/Jamelia)
Sarah: Ironic (Alanis Morisette)
Keisha: I'm Outta Love (Anastacia)
Ashley: Evergreen (Barbra Streisand)
Samantha: Since U Been Gone (Kelly Clarkson)
Jodie: I Have Nothing (Whitney Houston)
The results show featured performances of You've Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two, Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves (The Eurythmics) and The Rose (Bette Midler)
