Idol discard becomes all neighbourly
November 26, 2003
DUMPED Idol Axel Whitehead has auditioned for a part in Neighbours.
Looking to tread the well-worn path between Ramsay St and recording studio, the Idol contestant last week auditioned for a role and is now awaiting a reply from Neighbours production company Grundy Television, which also produces Idol.
Could Axel burst on to the scene as Harold's long lost son's long lost son? And prove the double-chin gene no longer curses the family?
"I don't know much about the part. I did a two-page script and that was it," Whitehead told Confidential.
"I've been putting my feelers out to see what's out there since Idol you know? They've been wanting me to audition for a while and after Idol I think they got keener."
He has also been given his first speaking role – on the upcoming series of The Secret Life of Us.
Whitehead wouldn't be the first reality TV star to nab a Neighbours part, following the successful move by Blair McDonough from Big Brother compound to Erinsborough.
INSTANT popstar Guy Sebastian yesterday decided on and confirmed the name of his prize for winning – his first album.
And, just because he's the way he is, it will be called Just As I Am.
Sebastian made the decision on the hop from a few suggestions yesterday as the Idol and his 'fro boarded for their first ever helicopter experience, making their way from Melbourne airport to Ten's studios for a Rove appearance.
He also has three songs that he's written on the album, which is very cool. The rest is all still being figured out. The album will be in stores from Monday December 8.
