"We all have a favourite Nancy" reveals John Barrowman on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross
I'd Do Anything judge John Barrowman tells Jonathan Ross tonight that he has a favourite Nancy – just a day before the grand final of the contest to find the West End's newest star.

John and Andrew Lloyd Webber pop in for a chat on this week's Friday Night With Jonathan Ross on 91Èȱ¬ One and discuss which of the three finalists should land the lead role in Cameron Mackintosh's revival of Oliver!

"Andrew has a specific favourite, we all do," admits John. "The three girls all have a great amount of talent, how I look at this now is, this is going to be life-changing, who can handle it?"

Andrew denies any rivalry with Mackintosh, saying: "He's been responsible for three of the greatest musicals of all time, he's a good lad, he said at the beginning [of I'd Do Anything] that he was a bit dubious [but] he's really bought into this process."

And Andrew doesn't rule out being involved in another TV search for a West End star.

He tells Jonathan: "I'm not a TV personality... but I love working with the kids. It's a very difficult one because the production's got to be there, it's not like any other reality show."

Also on tonight's show is Kirsty Young, presenter of 91Èȱ¬ÌýRadio 4's Desert Island Discs and 91Èȱ¬ One's Crimewatch, who admits she'd love to interview HRH The Duchess of Cornwall.

She tells Jonathan: "Camilla – she’s a bit of a sexy piece, I think people would be really interested to get some sort of handle on her."

Kirsty also admits: "I watch so much less news than I used to... it would be better if there was a news network that told us all the extraordinary stuff as well, news doesn’t cover that.
Ìý
"News is very conservative... Forty years ago I wouldn’t be in any of the jobs I get because they wouldn’t put up with a regional accent."

Jonathan also chats with Mark Wahlberg, and there's music from Black Kids.
