THE next singing sensation could be discovered on the Isle of Wight when the X Factor auditions come to the Island next week. 


The event will be held on Thursday, March 9 at Quay Arts, in Newport, from 10am to 4.30pm. 

Groups and solo singers aged 16 and older can apply by registering online or by turning up on the day.

Entrants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. 

Everyone will be guaranteed an audition but organisers have advised people to get there early. 

Sadly Simon Cowell and his panel of judges will not be there, but successful applicants will be in with a chance of auditioning in front of the celebrities in the summer.
