Thanks Carole. Does anyone here also remember the other 'Dusty' entry on Stars In Their Eyes back in(I think )2001? It wasn't a celebrity special, and if my memory serves me well, the woman who performed as Dusty, actually went on to win the series final!.
...I think her name was Emma Wilkinson??? I know she did an excellent performance of SOAPM- she really did sound like Dusty!.
....wonder if it's on Youtube?

Yes it was Emma Wilkinson, Emma.
I think she performed at one of the earlier Dusty Days.
I only saw it on video though.
She was pretty good, don't know whatever happened to her.
Her 'Stars In Their Eyes' performance has gotta be on Youtube!

I'll try and find it Carole!
MICBO: thanks for posting those results- it's nice to be reminded of just how popular Dusty was with the audience, both in the studio and at home! Nothing's changed there then!

No luck with the youtube clip then Emz?
Getting back to the Sam Fox 'thing' I was interested to learn that Sam Fox's Mum had been a dancer on RSG and knew Dusty from there.
I wanted Matthew Kelly to 'interrogate'...Sams Mother!...

Yep...Thanks for posting those results MICBO. |

...nope sorry! I don't think anyone has posted it. Mind you, if you pause the clip at around the 23 sec mark, you can catch a glimpse of 'Dusty'.
....then again you may have spotted that already
