One of TV’s largest reality shows will be coming to the Island in the search for pop music’s next big thing.
The X-Factor has confirmed it’s to bring a mobile auditioning van to the Isle of Man as it films auditions for its next series.
As well as the annual tryout events held around the UK, creator Simon Cowell says people will be auditioned on a first come, first served basis when the van arrives on the Island – although no date has yet been set.
Anyone impressing the judges with their musical talents will then win through to perform before the TV show’s judges in summer.
