TV TALENT show hopeful Tim Prottey-Jones has survived another night in his bid to become the next West End star.

Last night, the Worcester-born 32-year-old found himself in the bottom two of the competition alongside Dirk Johnston, but was saved by Andrew Lloyd-Webber.

In Superstar, Lloyd-Webber hopes to find the next Jesus Christ Superstar for the show’s reincarnation on the West End. Mr Prottey-Jones, a former Droitwich High School pupil, said he is making the most of his time on ITV’s latest reality talent show as he battles to become the next West End star.

Mr Prottey-Jones, who used to be a member of the Norbury Youth Theatre, based in Droitwich, previously played the role in an amateur production.

He said: “It’s a show I believe in and a role I that would love to pursue.

“When you’re playing such an iconic role you can’t help but find it life-changing. I have always loved the show, listening to it is why I wanted to be a singer in the first place.”

Mr Prottey-Jones also said working with Lloyd-Webber has been an invaluable experience and despite having performed in front of him a few times, admitted it doesn’t get any easier.

He said: “You know he’s going to give really valuable advice. You cannot buy that sort of experience. I just trust everything he says to me.“ “Sunday night was incredible, the nerves were off the scale.

“We knew on that night that no one was going home so you had that slightly relaxed atmosphere.

“We knew we had to go out there and sing our best but that’s the kind of pressure you can deal with.

“Seeing someone go home is tough. We’re being judged by so many people.

“If you’re not in this show for the TV stuff, if you’re just focused on the show itself, it can be quite overwhelming, but I’m getting used to it day by day.”

Mr Prottey-Jones, who now lives in Birmingham, currently works as co-ordinator for a children’s charity Sound It Out, which creates and runs dynamic, diverse participatory music programmes across the West Midlands, but said he would love to make performing his full-time occupation.

“I’m trying to get as much out of this as I can,” he said.

“I want to make this side of my life my full time occupation.

“Any opportunities that come our way, we treasure each one of them.”
