'Dusty Springfield' wins BBC One's tribute series

17/02/2008

Katy Setterfield, a Dusty Springfield impersonator, has won BBC One's The One and Only talent show.

After being declared the winner last night, Setterfield admitted to being "absolutely speechless" and "gob-smacked".

In winning she secured a three-month performing contract in Las Vegas.

On the final show she received glowing praise for her performances of In The Middle Of Nowhere and All I See Is You.

"I'm absolutely speechless, I'm gob-smacked," Setterfield told host Graham Norton.

"I really can't believe it. I'm very excited about going to Vegas. Being in the competition has been great but I didn't think I'd get past the first round."

After her rendition of All I See Is You, judges David and Carrie Grant were quick to sing her praises.

"[It was] the biggest song emotionally, the biggest song in range and you choose to sing it in the final," David said.

"You're crazy, but it was the best vocal performance of this entire series."

Setterfield, 37, had been up against Frank Sinatra, Cher, Robbie Williams and Lionel Richie tribute acts in the final show on BBC last night, before viewers voted her the winner.ADNFCR-8000014-ID-18470996-ADNFCR
