IT WILL be party time at a stage school on Saturday if one of its former pupils wins the contest to become the new Danny Zuko in a West End production of Grease.

Teenager Danny Bayne, from Welling, has reached the final of ITV programme Grease is the Word.

His former classmates at the Italia Conti school based in Coopers Technology College, Hawkwood Road, Chislehurst, will be cheering him on as the show reaches its climax on Saturday.

A former pupil at Danson Primary School in Welling, 19-year-old Danny is hoping all his neighbours and friends will be voting for him.

Italia Conti has arranged for a big screen to chart his progress during the evening.
