The contest, organised by the Clover Hill Community Association, saw acts compete to win the audience's vote with the top two most popular entries then going before judges who decided the winner.

Out of the dancers and singers entered in the U18s category the audience voted for Chelsea Jeary, who sang 'I Dreamed a Dream' from the musical Les Miserables, and Abotts Dance Academy to go through to the final, where the three judges then crowned Chelsea the winner.

Seven acts competed for the over 18s category, including comedians, a country singer and an accordion player.

Organiser Paula Browne said: 'It took lots of hard work by the community association and volunteers but we all had a great day.

'It was great to have some older entrants and some were very funny.'

The finalists were four singers called Ladies of the Choir, who sang a parody to the tune of 'All things Bright and Beautiful', and singer Lorna Cracknell who won the top spot.

Money raised from the event will go to Clover Hill village hall and to help sponsor a Bowthorpe arts festival in October.
