Rachel has become the ninth Nancy to be voted off I'd Do Anything with Graham Norton and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber
Rachel's dream is over as she becomes the ninth Nancy to be voted off BBC One's I'd Do Anything.
After this week's semi-final public vote Rachel and Samantha were the least popular Nancys and this week Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber decided it was time for Rachel to go.
On Saturday's live show, all four 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.
Rachel and Samantha gained the least amount of public votes, and had to sing a rendition of Memory from Cats 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 in the final and he decided to save Samantha
So now just three Nancys are left to fight it out in next week's live final - Jessie, Jodie and Samantha.
The remaining hopefuls will go on to next week's live final at 6pm 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!.
Also this week, the three boys chosen to play Oliver were revealed as Gwion, 11, from Carmarthenshire, Harry, 12, from Oxfordshire and Laurence, 11, from Cheshire.
The songs featured in this week's show were:
Nancys and Olivers – Food Glorious Food (from Oliver!)
Rachel - Cabaret (from Cabaret)
Jessie – What I Did For Love (from A Chorus Line)
Jodie and Samantha – Jesus Christ Superstar (from Jesus Christ Superstar)
Olivers - Tomorrow (from Annie)
Samantha – When You Believe (from Prince Of Egypt)
Jodie – Out Here On My Own (from Fame)
Rachel and Jessie – Buenos Aires (from Evita)
Olivers – No Matter What (from Whistle Down The Wind)
