Wednesday, 12 November 2014 00:00

ITV's hit show Britain's Got Talent will be casting its net as wide as the Isle of Man for the upcoming series.

Producers will be on Island in December to view the very best the Island has to offer - from singers to talented dogs.

The 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.

Auditions will take place on Saturday, November 22, at Ballakermeen High School those successful will then audition for the BGT team on December 1st.

James Turpin is part of the team charged with selecting the Island's top performers who will be seen at the Villa Marina:
