If you think you could be the next singing superstar then get yourself down to the X Factor auditions in Norwich.

The X Factor has made household names of performers such as Leona Lewis, One Direction and Little Mix.

Now it could be your turn to impress the casting team and take the first step to compete for a career in the music industry as open auditions are due to come to Norwich later this year.

Go along to Castle Mall on Saturday, March 9 from 9am to 6pm to take part.

You must be 16 years or over to audition and under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and bring valid ID.

Those in full time education should audition after 4.30pm.

Last year Norwich drag act The Squirrels - formed by Kenny Moore and Chris Thomas Nicoll - made it to the six chair challenge on the show after initially auditioning in Norwich.

In 2017 Lingwood's Leon Mallett made it through to the live shows after being reintroduced by Louis Walsh as a wildcard.
