WARM up your vocal chords and head on down to Drake Circus in Plymouth next week as the popular singing contest The X Factor comes to the city.

The X Factor will be holding auditions to find Britain’s best talent at the shopping centre on Saturday, February 4 from 10.30am to 5pm.

The X Factor team is on the lookout for the next big breakout music stars as it travels the length and breadth of the country on the 2017 audition tour.

The team will be searching high and low, bringing the auditions to the city in its hunt for singing sensations. So if you think you could be the next Matt Terry, Louisa Johnson, One Direction, Little Mix or Olly Murs, or know someone who you think could be, now is the time to come along and showcase your vocal talent.

Register online, turn up to audition at Drake Circus, Plymouth or send in your own video audition via https://application.xfactor.tv/

All any budding hopefuls need to do is turn up on the date and time specified. 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.

The X Factor will return to ITV later this year. Fans of the show can follow all the action via @TheXFactor on Twitter and Instagram and on Facebook.com/TheXFactor
