Blackpool Live Blogs Local Talent

The Blackpool Gazette launched a live blog last Saturday to follow the progress of a local singer in a TV talent show.

A journalist at the Gazette posted regular updates about the happenings on BBC’s I’d Do Anything as Jodie Prenger competed to win the role of Nancy in a forthcoming production of Oliver!

Part One of the blog covered the first stage of the show’s finale and Part Two reported on the second show at 8.45pm when Prenger went head to head against fellow finalist Jessie Buckley.

And following Prenger’s victory, users took the opportunity to post their messages of congratulations via the blog’s comment sections.
