Newcastle lad Gary Phelan joined 12 other students in the Fame Academy for the first live expulsion show. At the end of the night, only 12 returned to the house - luckily Gary was one of them!
Positive Mental Attitiude (PMA) was the order of the dayfor 21 year old Gary Phelan as he covered 'Summer in the City' by The Lovin' Spoonful in the first expulsion show.
Headteacher Richard Park
While his performance impressed Headteacher Richard Park, Robin Gibb and Vocal coaches David and Carrie Grant felt he still had more to offer.
Once again, Gary found himself in the bottom three with Audley and Louise.
The teachers used their vote to save Louise from expulsion leaving Gary and Audley to fight it out for the student vote.
For the second timing running, Gary won the student vote with seven out of the twelve pupils choosing to keep the Geordie in the house.
Wor Gary
The Fame Academy students have no time to recover from losing their first housemate as the next survival show takes place on Wednesday.
Gary was due to sing 'Get what you give' by the New Radicals for Wednesday's expulsion show, but now he has decided to perform George Michael's 'Faith' instead.
Will the public keep the faith with Gary and keep him in the Academy?
