There is a North East force to be reckoned with in Saturday night's Greatest Dancer final as Geordie dance captain Cheryl goes for glory with young Sunderland dancers Lily and Joseph.
Joseph Chow and Lily Straughn were one of the first acts in action as the BBC talent show returned to our screens at the start of January and have proved popular with the show's dance captains Cheryl , Matthew Morrison, Oti Mabuse and Todrick Hall and viewers ever since.
Dancing to everything from Andra Day's Rise Up to A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman, the young duo have survived a series of double eliminations to reach The Greatest Dancer final.
This weekend they will battle it out against soloist Harrison, ballroom dancers Michael and Jowita and Dancepoint to win the second series of the BBC show.
Reacting to making the final, Lily and Joseph posted on Facebook: "Last night was INCREDIBLE!!! we cant thank everyone enough for the support we’ve had and helping us live our dream of making the final!!
"I hope we can make you all proud this week! We’re going to work sooooooo hard!!!"
Who are Lily and Joseph on The Greatest Dancer?
Joseph Chow, eight, and Lily Straughan, 11, both train at The Worx – Dance Theatre Arts in Sunderland Lily is from Fulwell, while Joseph goes to school in Jarrow .
The Worx paid tribute to them on Facebook, posting: "Our little angels, the babies of the competition, little pro’s and the sweetest kids ... we are sooooooo ruddy proud of you you both!
"Go smash that final kids!!!"
