<text>  Four lucky men who think their partners are out of their league have become the finalists in a Punching Above Your Weight couple competition. Dave Scott and Sarah Oliver, Paula and Stephen Black, Liam and Victoria Barrett, and Lee Hodgson and Leanne Westlake are battling it out to become crowned the UKs most mismatched couple in a competition held by Newcastles Metro Radio. The finalists beat hundreds of entrants to make it to the top four, and the winners of the tongue-in-cheek competition will win a luxury seven night holiday in a five-star resort in Corfu. Dave Scott, 22, and Sarah Oliver, 24, from Sunderland, have beaten hundreds of entrants to become finalists of the UKs Punching Above Your Weight competition . Originally there were five finalists, but one couple were disqualified from the competition after producers discovered that Andrea Burlington, 36, of South Shields, had entered her deceased husband. Andrea explained that her husband Andrew Bedlington had sadly passed away in October 2013, but she still wanted to enter in tribute to her late husband as a way of keeping his memory alive: I felt like I was doing something with him again, she says,it was wonderful. Andrea Burlington, 36, of South Shields, above, entered her husband Andrew in the competition as a way of keeping his memory alive . Andrew, who had two children with Andrea, sadly passed away in 2013 . It was my daughter who suggested I enter the competition, and as the conditions said nothing about the entrants being alive, I thought why not! Andrea brought Andrews ashes into the studios in the urn usually kept next to her bed. Surprised station bosses checked with their legal team and despite her being selected as a finalist, the rules stipulated that the holiday must be awarded to a winning couple, whereas Andrea wanted to take her and Andrews two children, Shannon, 18, and Chloe, 11. The Metro Radio team decided to treat Andrea and her children to another holiday anyway and an emotional Andrea said: I couldnt believe it. Andrew was the breadwinner and I was a stay at home mum, there would be no way I would have be able to take the kids anywhere in the foreseeable future. Steve Furnell from the Steve Karen Breakfast show who are holding the competition says: Andrea has been so fantastic. Its been an emotional roller coaster and were so happy that we were able to give her and her girls the chance to go away too. Now its time to get cracking with our final four couples wholl battle it out for the holiday prize. MEET THE PUNCHING ABOVE YOUR WEIGHT FINALISTS . COUPLE A: DAVE SCOTT AND SARAH OLIVER .
