WEST End hopeful Lewis Bradley has been inundated with offers after making it into the final of BBC's Any Dream Will Do.

The North-East teenager, who came third in Andrew Lloyd Webber's search for a new star in his hit musical Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat, has been the centre of attention since the big finale last weekend.

His mother, Aranka (OK) Bradley, from Nunthorpe in Middlesbrough, said Lewis, 18, had been invited to a variety of parties this week, and had been asked to officially open a number of shops and businesses.

However, she said her son was trying to keep his feet on the ground and was talking to lawyers and advisers about what route to take.

The 43-year-old mother-of-three said: "Lewis has got a big list of people that are wanting him - particularly different agents - so it's just getting the right advice and making the right choices.

"I'm quite sure Lewis will get no end of offers because he has a lot to offer.

"His phone hasn't stopped ringing all week, and he has been busy at various functions, but once it all settles down, I know he will get somewhere."

This week, Lewis has been moving out of the joint house he shared with other contestants on the show, and back into his own flat in London. And he is preparing to go back to Italia Conti stage school.

However, his mother is hoping he will return home to Middlesbrough in the next week few weeks for a well-deserved break.

She said when he does arrive back, there will be a big family party to celebrate his success, along with his 18th birthday last week.

And when he comes, he is likely to bring with him a Tiffany silver necklace, given to him by the show's presenter Graham Norton, along with a number of the designer outfits he wore on the show, which he has been able to keep, along with his famous blue coat.

Mrs Bradley said she was disappointed Lewis had not been one of the last two finalists, along with winner Lee Mead, but said her son was not disappointed at all.

However, she said now all the excitement was over, she was feeling low and was wondering what to do with herself.

"The whole experience was fantastic for us all, but the experience was priceless for Lewis," she added.

"He enjoyed every minute. He was mature before he went on the show, but he has definitely come out of it a man. I have watched him grow up over the past eight weeks."
