A disabled duck, ridiculed for having no wings, has made it through to the final of an ITV talent show.

Peter the Wingless Duck was kicked off the K-Factor, part of Harry Hill’s TV burp, because he had no wings.

However, the Croydon Guardian championed a Facebook campaign to have him reinstated and subsequently he has been chosen for the Not The Live Final of the show.

In the latest episode, Peter tries his hand at another show, hosted by Michael Winner, called Dining Stars, but he is also kicked off that.

Feeling suicidal, Peter makes his way to a cliff and leaps off just as his fans march on the K-Factor studios to demand he is let through to the final.

In what appears to be his final minutes, the hapless duck goes spinning towards the beach, unable to fly, but is caught by Simon Cowell who, cradling Peter, tells him he is through to the 'Not The Live Final'.

More than 2,500 people have joined the Facebook campaign and have been frantically voting since Saturday’s show.

Dave Chapman, Peter’s “agent”, said: “It's been an emotional rollercoaster for Peter. We have been very worried for him, all this fame and pressure took him to the edge.

"It was all going a bit Susan Boyle. We even booked him a room in the newly opened Knitted Wing at The Priory Clinic, but it looks like he's turned a corner now.

“He's ready for the final push, and what's really helped is the support he's had from the readers of The Croydon Guardian and his fans on Facebook.

“Peter the Wingless Duck now has nearly 2000 fans! It's been a great source of strength to him. He's hoping everyone goes online and votes of course.

“Whatever happens, Peter's life will never be the same again. We do hope that the fame won't go to his head, however he's heard rumours that the Mayor of Croydon wants to meet him about a proposed role as the Town Mascot.

"One step at a time though, we just need to get through this weekend first.”
