The Scottish contestant didn't start musical theatre until she was 15, when she went along to an audition for her school's production of We Will Rock You. Stevie had gone with her friends as she thought it would be fun and she quickly fell in love with performing.

"When I told my family I was moving to London, no-one was surprised. I've always been quite ambitious, but this is something I could never have imagined," she said.

The actor has impressed the judges with her performances so far, but can she make it all the way to the end?

"I don't think I will ever have the words to describe quite what this experience means to me," Esme said about her appearances on the show.

Owen started singing lessons at around the age of 13 where he sang musical theatre songs. A few months later, Owen's mum took him on a trip to London to see Phantom of the Opera. It was there that he fell in love with musical theatre and knew he wanted a career in the industry.

"The 10-year-old boy who was scared to tell his mates in his classroom that he'd seen Mamma Mia! three times at the cinema would be beside himself!" Owen said about his appearance on the show.

"It means the world. For so many people who have backed me over the years, I owe it not only to myself but all of them as well. It would be an incredible feeling to win."

Can Owen make his West End dreams a reality?

Fans of Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream can watch the live final at 18.30 on Sunday on ITV1 and ITVX.
