Hit music show The X Factor will hold open auditions for its next series at Bradford's Kirkgate Centre later this month.

A mobile audition van will come to the shopping centre throughout the day on Monday, March 30, allowing budding singers to sing for a spot on the show.

If they impress the team with their vocals, they will then be in with a chance of auditioning in front of the X Factor judges when the judges’ auditions take place in summer.

The hit show, which this year won a National Television Award for Best Talent Show, has found success in the district before. Luke Friend, a former Beckfoot School pupil, came third in the competition in 2013.

The X Factor creator Simon Cowell added, ‘“The X Factor is coming back and, if you think you have the potential to be a world-class star, this is your chance to prove it. You really could be the next pop superstar.”

The Kirkgate Centre auditions will be on a first come, first serve basis.
