You gotta feel for ‘The Lord’ - as he has just sat on Paul O’Grady’s couch to plug I’d Do Anything and witnessed something quite frightful. O’Grady sang That’s your Funeral from Oliver! as the Lord himself sat there, visibily cringing! Years gone by, he’d have guested on Saturday Superstore, pulled a postcard from a spinning tombola tub and then, home James!

To make matters even worse, he then had to listen to Sean Maguire - the star of the awful film Meet The Spartans playing catch up with old showbiz pal, Paul. I loved the shots of Lloyd Webber looking bored and disinterested and look forward to seeing them in the live shows, when a Nancy sings for her supper in the sing offs.

But today, he had to sit through this ‘audition’ of sorts as Paul O Grady killed a song from Oliver!; it was his funeral alright! The Lord also gave the obligatory interview and made the usual - “We are looking for a raw Nancy who……” comments. He also said: “We’re not going for bland casting, this time.” Connie Fisher, it isn’t then!
