TALENTED Wirral performers will have their chance to shine when the Britain’s Got Talent team head to the borough next week.

Auditions will be taking place at Birkenhead’s Pyramid Shopping Centre, where the team hope to find their next star.

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

Executive Producer, Amelia Brown, said “We’ve had some amazing winners over the last ten series, from this year’s champion Richard Jones, who was the first magician to ever win the show, right through to Paul Potts, Diversity and Collabro.

“We can’t wait to see what talent Birkenhead has to offer. “Anyone can apply - there is no age limit and we are looking for all kinds of talents, so if you feel you have something special to show us then make sure you apply, you never know where it might take you.”

This year marked the 10th anniversary of Britain’s Got Talent with soldier and magician Richard Jones being crowned the winner.

The magician captivated the nation with his mind-reading performances and his moving finale performance and tribute to WWII prisoner of war and magician, Fergus Anckorn.

Winners of the show are given the opportunity to perform in front of the Royal Family at the Royal Variety Performance.

The auditions will be held in Birkenhead on Sunday July 24th between 11am- 4pm as part of a country-wide search for talented acts for the new series.

Successful acts will be in with a chance of securing a place at one of the judges’ auditions in 2017.

Derek Millar, commercial director at Pyramids Shopping Centre said: “We are very pleased to be welcoming Britain’s Got Talent to Pyramids Shopping Centre and hope people from Birkenhead and the wider Wirral area take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.

"The Pyramids team are all big fans of the show and we look forward to hosting the activity.”
