Episode synopsis
In the semi-final of the celebrity reality show, it was Kwame who fell at the final hurdle and missed out on a place in the grand final. The casualty star Kwame Kwei-Armah was eliminated from the show after losing both the public vote and, the big suprise of the series, all prior students vote. After all of the final three performed the public vote was announced that Will polled most votes and would be in the final, but in a surpise twist, all of the shows six previously eliminated contestants and finalist Will voted on who they wanted in the final out of Ruby and Kwame. Six of the students wanted to keep Ruby in the game, all of them said it was because of the entertainment the American comedian brought to the show. Will alone emotionally voted for Kwame. With the finalists ready for the final, the voting lines were opened once more for the final time.
About Comic Relief Does Fame Academy
Comic Relief Does Fame Academy is a spin-off of the original Fame Academy show where celebrities sing as students of the Academy. The programme was launched in 2003 to help raise money for the charities supported by Comic Relief, with the final of the show occurring on Red Nose Day. Coverage of the show was widely shown on BBC One, BBC Three, BBC Prime and the CBBC Channel. Many consider the celebrity version of the show to be far more successful than its predecessor. The Comic Relief series returned in 2005 and again in March 2007. It was announced by the BBC that Cat Deeley would not return because she was hosting So You Think You Can Dance. However, Patrick Kielty returned with co-host and host of the former spin-off show Claudia Winkleman.
