Did you see the Danielle Hope catching up video?
Danielle talks about meeting up with some of the other girls from Over The Rainbow. She went to see Lauren Samuels playing Sandy in Grease, and Danni, Jessica and Steph Fearon were there too. Danielle also went to see Steph in Smokey Joe’s Cafe which was brilliant. Everyone’s doing really well. Danielle is officially based in London now and has been going to see loads of theatre such as Aspects of Love, and as many other shows as possible. She’s doing some vocal classes and some dance classes, and now has a clear idea of where she’s going i preparation for the Wizard of Oz opening next year.
Graham Norton Backs Danielle Hope Vote

In a press release about the future of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s reality casting shows such as Over The Rainbow, host Graham Norton also mentioned that he backed the public decision to vote Danielle Hope as winner.
Graham Norton has confirmed he would love to host another show searching for a new West End star.
The Irishman had lots of fun presenting Over The Rainbow, which saw Manchester teenager Danielle Hope crowned the new Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz.
But he admitted the shows are “really hard to tie up” as there are several necessary ingredients.
Speaking on the red carpet at the Bafta television awards, Graham said: “I’d love to [do another show]. I really enjoyed doing those shows. Those shows are really hard to put together because you need Andrew, you need a musical the public like, and you need a West End theatre. It’s really hard to tie it up.”
Last month, a report claimed that Lord Lloyd Webber was ready to quit the BBC after four shows in favour of a move to ITV.
Graham said that, were this to happen, he could not follow the musical theatre impresario because of his own contract with the Beeb.
Asked if it would be tough seeing someone else doing his job, he said: “Tough is a big word – it would be a bit weird but then I could watch the show and wouldn’t even have to go, so on another level, I’d get to enjoy them and my Saturday.”
The Bafta host also backed the public’s decision to vote Danielle Hope the winner of the latest contest, calling her “terrific”.
Here’s Graham Norton introducing the Fiddler on The Roof mashup from week 6.
