Two aspiring musicians who starred on the BBC reality show South Side Story are facing trial over an alleged reward card fraud at Harrods.
Jodie Drayan – who worked at the luxury store – and Rachelle Findlay both appeared on the 2015 show that followed London singers trying to forge their careers.
Drayan, 26, is accused of swindling more than £22,000 from the west London shop by loading money onto reward cards.

She is said to have put £3,771 on a card that 31-year-old Findlay – of Buckhurst Hill, Essex – was then able to use.
Harrods conducted an investigation into Drayan – from Romford, east London – between November 2015 and January 2016, before alerting police.
Appearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, Drayan denied eight counts of fraud by abuse of position.
