Cornish singers looking for their big break should head to Truro on Sunday as the X Factor auditions roll into town in search of vocal talent.

The singing show will be holding auditions on the Compton Castle paddle steamer at Lemon Quay from 11am, as part of the shows biggest ever audition tour, which will visit 50 towns and cities across the country.

If you have ever thought about auditioning or sought to emulate past contestants from the likes of last year’s winner Ben Haenow to One Direction, Little Mix, Olly Murs or Leona Lewis… now is your time.

The X Factor creator Simon Cowell said: “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.”

Acts are advised to turn up early to the auditions, and all any budding hopefuls need to do is turn up on the date and time specified, whether they have registered in advance or not.If they impress The X Factor 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.
