Andrew Lloyd Webber and acclaimed composer Howard Goodall recently announced the winner of the nationwide Joseph Choir Search for the upcoming Joseph musical.

The winner, who will now perform live on BBC1 in the grand final of 'Any Dream Will Do' this Saturday, is Brampton Primary School in East Ham.

All entrants were viewed by an expert panel.

The last episode of BBC1's TV's Joseph: Any Dream Will Do will be aired live today (Saturday 9 June). The winner will star as Joseph in London at the Adelphi Theatre, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, next month.

The winning Joseph is also set to release a single for charity Children in Need.

Finalists Lee Mead, Lewis Bradley and Keith Jack have each already recorded the number, "Any Dream Will Do".

All three will feature on the other track of the double A-side single, which is the exit number "Close Every Door", with proceeds of sales going to the BBC's Children in Need campaign, according to Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group.

Lloyd-Webber said: "We have an intriguing contest.

"I wouldn't like to second guess who is going to win in the end."
