Two of the last three final places up for grabs during heat nine at Lucarly's nightclub last night, went to boyfriend and girlfriend Mark Stoneman and Amy Greetham.
The pair, who bagged the coveted spots in the final 12 as wild cards, are now jetting off to Paris for a romantic break.
However, Mark (23) of Waltham was unaware of his final place as they set off on holiday together today.
Amy (20), a barmaid at The King's Head, Waltham and stage one drama teacher, will replace previous finalist Sureina Dais, who won Heat Seven, but has had to return to her native Philippines to be with her sick mother
She said: "I was really pleased to get through and I am looking forward to the final.
