I'd Do Anything: Jonny makes the semis
 

The eighth and final semi-final spot on BBC talent show I'd Do Anything was awarded to Jonny on Saturday night.

The 13-year-old from Warwickshire was chosen after singing Reach by S Club 7.

He will compete for the chance to win the title role in Cameron Mackintosh's new West End production of Oliver!.

Jonny's ambition is to become a marine biologist when he's older and says his favourite musical - apart from Oliver! - is Wicked.

The Hollyoaks and Horrid Henry fan will be joined in the semi-final by Gwion, 11, from Carmarthenshire; Chester, 12, from Middlesex; Arthur, 10, from Bristol; Kwayedza, 13, from Kent; Alexander, 11, from London; Harry, 12, from Oxfordshire and Laurence, 11, from Cheshire.

They have previously been mentored by Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Andrew, who continue to assess their individual progress.

Three boys will make their dreams come true when they land the title role in the show. The winning Olivers will be revealed on the semi-final show on Saturday May 24.

The line-up for the semi-finals is now complete.
