Joe McElderry has made it through to the final of Popstar to Operastar. 

The young X Factor winner will compete against former Bucks Fizz star, Cheryl Baker, next week after both surviving last night's (July 3) semi-final, which saw Steps singer Claire Richards leave the competition. 

Tweeting late last night, McElderry thanked his fans for their continued support throughout the show:

"Thanks to everyone that voted!!! So excited to be in the final!!!!! Woooppeeeee!!!!"
