BRITAIN’S Got Talent is coming to Essex to find undiscovered stars for the new series of the hit TV show.

Simon Cowell is sending his production team to Rayleigh to find undiscovered talent and on Friday December 12, they will be at Masters Performing Arts College in Rayleigh to see just what star potential the area holds.

The show is open to any performer of any age, from any background, with any talent - all they need is a skill and star quality which they think will impress. Anything goes from comedians to contortionists, dancers to drag acts and acrobats to animals.

Anyone who thinks they have the talent to follow in the footsteps of previous finalists should take a chance ahead of the judges audition tour in 2015.

Executive producer, Amelia Brown, said: “Britain’s Got Talent has an amazing record of celebrating amazing talent and changing people’s lives - from Susan Boyle and Diversity through to Paul Potts, Ashleigh and Pudsey and this year’s winners Collabro. They all took a chance and applied for the show and that’s what we want the people to do this year. We can’t wait to see the talent that Southend has to offer.”

The show returns to ITV in 2015. Auditions run from 11am to 3pm on Friday at the performing arts school on Southend Arterial Road.
