Zoe Burkett has confirmed that a Pop Idol reunion was in the works, before being shelved after the sad death of her fellow contestant Darius Danesh.
North East singer Zoe was one of the youngest acts on series one of the hit ITV show 20 years ago. Just teenager at the time, Zoe made it all the way to the final four, thanks to powerhouse performances of the likes of Get Happy and Say A Little Prayer. Darius went one better and finished third, behind Gareth Gates and eventual winner Will Young.
After the show became the most watched thing on TV, all the live show finalists then embarked on a nationwide arena tour, before going into forge successful careers outside of the Pop Idol bubble.
