A professional West End actress, Francesca Jackson almost didn't make it through when she was struck by a flu bug during the audition process. Luckily she pulled off an amazing performance and has been named one of the lucky twelve who could become Nancy.

Trained at the Mountview Theatre School, Francesca Jackson has appeared in National Youth Musical Theatre productions of Whistle Down The Wind and Bugsy Malone as well as performing in the tour of Rod Stewart's Tonight's the Night. Interestingly Francesca used to share a flat with "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria" winner, Connie Fisher and with Connie's first hand knowledge of the grueling televised audition process and her own knowledge of the West End stage she could be a possible winner!
