Talent scouts for a hit ITV show will be back on Island next month looking for contestants for their next series.

It marks the second consecutive year that Britain's Got Talent has sent their producers to the Island to host a series of intimate open auditions.

This preliminary stage will determine who gets fast tracked onto the UK rounds, allowing the participants to skip a certain amount of the larger audition phases.

We spoke to Kiz, a member of the BGT team; he said they're looking to see a diverse mix of talents.
