Who left Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream? All the eliminated performers so far

Over the course of the competition, they have been judged on their singing, dancing, acting and chemistry skills by a panel of entertainers, as well as being trained by Mamma Mia!'s very own choreographer.

The group of West End hopefuls have been whittled down one by one, and soon it will be revealed who will be the next Sophie and Sky during a live grand finale, as voted by the public.

There were some incredible performances, and the judges and performers alike had to say goodbye to two more contestants. So, who left Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream this week?

Read on for a list of all the contestants who have left Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream so far.

Who left Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream?

Stephanie - Week 7

Stephanie became the fifth Sophie to be eliminated from the competition, leaving Esme and Stevie in the final two.

Prior to joining the show, Stephanie said she "always wanted to play the role of Sophie". Stephanie grew up listening to ABBA and the musical itself, and said it would be "a dream come true" to play the role on the West End.

Craig - Week 7

Craig was the fifth Sky to be eliminated from Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream, leaving Owen and Tobias in the competition.

Craig has friends who have been in Mamma Mia! on the West End and they have always spoken "so highly of the experience", which is one of the reasons why he wanted to play the role of Sky.

Desmonda - Week 6

Desmonda became the fourth Sophie to be eliminated from the Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream competition.

Prior to joining the show, Desmonda noted that Mamma Mia! is "one of the most recognisable movie musicals ever", and it's something she "really wants to be a part" of.

She explained: "It's such a big part of pop culture known around the world. I grew up watching it and I want to be a part of that universe."

Marcellus - Week 6

Marcellus was the seventh contestant and fourth Sky to be eliminated from Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream.

Ahead of his appearance on the talent show, Marcellus explained he wanted to play the role of Sky as it'd be a "great achievement" as well as wanting to "inspire others to never give up" on their dreams.

Zachkiel - Week 5

Zachkiel was the sixth contestant and third Sky to be eliminated from Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream.

Zachkiel wanted to play the role of Sky as he wanted to "bring a new essence, a new flair" to the character.

He explained: "I want to respect the character – Mamma Mia! is so famous, everyone has an idea of what Sky and Sophie are like and you can stick to what people know, that's fine, but you're also allowed to create and I want to add my own spin to it – to be the Sky that everybody knows and loves but to add coolness and fun."

Leah - Week 5

Leah was the fifth contestant and third Sophie to be eliminated from Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream.

20-year-old Leah grew up watching Mamma Mia! and felt it would be "a full circle moment" to play the role of Sophie on the West End.

Explaining why she wanted to play the role of Sophie, Leah said: "I grew up watching Mamma Mia!, my inner child would be screaming! I would also love to play Sophie because she is very far from me as a person and roles that I would usually go for. It would be a challenge that I am totally up for!"

Callum - Week 4

As week 4 was a double elimination, one prospective Sophie and one prospective Sky left the competition.

Zachkiel found himself in the bottom two alongside Callum.

But, ultimately, the judges decided Callum's time was up.

"I definitely feel like I've still got more to give, it's just a shame, tonight wasn't that night. I thought I did myself proud," he said of his exit from the show.

Maisie - Week 4

Maisie found herself in the bottom two alongside Esme.

The judges chose to save Esme, and so Maisie's time in the competition was over.

Speaking of her time on the competition, Maisie said: "I never thought I'd get this opportunity, it's like a dream. I think I did a good performance. I'm proud of it and I've had so much fun, I can say I went out with a bang."

Darcy - Week 3

This week, it was time for the Skys to impress the judges, but unfortunately for Darcy, his time on the competition was up.

After gathering the group together, judge Alan Carr delivered the news, saying: "The person we're sending home is Darcy."

"You give solid performances, but we've been waiting to be wowed," judge Amber Riley said.

Darcy took the news in his stride and said: "I've got a lot more to show off and give. I feel like I've learnt so much already about myself and how I can deal with things when coming to performing.

"I've loved being here, I'm very proud of myself and I hope my mum is proud as well."

Maddy - Week 2

Maddy was, sadly, the first Sophie to leave the competition.

During Sunday night's show, viewers saw Maddy take part in a workshop where she forgot a couple of her lines, which judges Alan Carr and Jessie Ware didn't seem impressed with.

She then performed I Say A Little Prayer by Aretha Franklin and the judges were all smiles, praising her comeback after she struggled during the workshop.

Judge Samantha Barks did offer slight criticism, saying she wished there was "more acting" in Maddy's performance.

After the judges deliberated, they decided it was the end of the road for Maddy.

"It's not just about signing, we're factoring in acting with you yesterday in the workshop. Some of you excelled and did really well, and then some of you struggled," judge Amber Riley told the Sophies before Samantha Barks delivered the verdict.

Talking about her exit, Maddy said: "It's been so amazing and I've done myself proud, but I just don't feel ready to leave yet. I feel like there is so much I can show and I've got so much more in me.

"This is only the start of my journey."

Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream continues on Sundays 6:10pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX.
