Sunday’s results show saw the eleven girls return to the stage. Jodie Prenger reminded us about the ongoing search for Toto and Graham reiterated that the dogs don’t need to be theatre-trained, just house-trained. Then Andrew informed us that it was Graham’s birthday! But, after the audience were led in a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday” by panellist John Partridge (which was clearly voted off the show by the time it was broadcast, perhaps we weren’t as tuneful as the Dorothys) it was back to the business at hand.

The final eleven performed their first Dorothy Mash Up, segueing effortlessly from ‘Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better,’ into Alexandra Burke’s ‘Broken Heels.’ In glamorous red and black, the girls looked like the West End’s answer to Girls Aloud.

Which is fitting as, after winning this week’s task – during which the girls got a taste of life as a farm girl, mucking out pigs and feeding lambs with Countryfile presenter Adam Henson – Bronte (picked by Adam as the winning farm girl) selected Amy, Emilie and Jessica to join her in a farm-inspired performance of Girls Aloud’s ‘Love Machine’.

And then, the results. The girls – and the audience – waited with bated breath as Graham revealed that Steph and Amy had received the fewest public votes. Singing Andrew’s ‘Whistle Down The Wind,’ both girls gave it their all in the hope Andrew would save them.

But it was Steph Andrew chose to save, leaving Amy as the first out. “I think you’re fantastically talented…[but] just not right for this role,” Andrew said. Although “gutted” Amy vowed to keep going. “I did what I set out to do, to people who just see me as a model… You can be a mum or a bank worker and still keep pursuing your dreams,” she said, to cheers from the former Wild Card Dorothys.

And then it was time to say goodbye. Singing ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ for the last time, after giving up her sparkly shoes, Amy took her place on a specially constructed crescent moon which whisked her up to the top of the studio – and away.

A fitting send-off for our first Dorothy, as 11 becomes 10…
