SINGERS are invited to showcase their skills for a chance to appear on TV’s The X Factor.

Auditions for the show are taking place at Churchill Square shopping centre on Friday as part of a tour of towns and cities across the country.

Groups or solo singers aged 16 and over can apply by registering online at application.xfactor.tv or simply turn up on the day.

If they impress the team with their vocals, they will then be in with a chance of auditioning in front of Simon Cowell and the rest of the X Factor judges in the summer.

Auditions start at 10am and everyone will be seen, although acts are advised to arrive early.
