Have you got what it takes to be a star? Britain’s Got Talent auditions to be held in Derry next week

Auditions for the top television talent show Brtain's Got Talent are to be held in Derry next week.

The team from the hit series will in Foyleside Shopping Centre on Wednesday, 19 October, from 11.30am to 5.30pm, looking for a potential star. Successful acts will then be in with a chance of securing a place at one of the judges’ auditions next year.

The show is open to any performer of any age, with any talent - all you need is a skill and star quality which they think will impress.

Anything goes from magicians to comedians, drag acts to singers and acrobats to animals.

Executive producer, Amelia Brown, said: “We’ve had some amazing winners over the last ten series, from this year’s champion Richard Jones, who was the first magician to ever win the show, right through to Paul Potts, Diversity and Collabro.

“We can’t wait to see what talent your town has to offer.

“Anyone can apply - there is no age limit and we are looking for all kinds of talents, so if you feel you have something special to show us then make sure you apply, you never know where it might take you.”

You don’t have to be a winner of the show to become a star – as Susan Boyle proved.
