FIVE years after Swindon’s Jahmene Douglas rose to pop stardom on the X Factor stage, producers are returning to the town.

Auditions will be held at The Parade on Wednesday, March 15.

The first would-be contestant will take their place on the 'X' just after 11am but the queues could start to gather some time before.

The auditions will run until 6pm and anyone in full time education is urged not to skip school but to come along after 4.30pm.

If you are under 18, you will need to be accompanied by an adult and have some sort of valid ID. Email toyah.dann@thames.tv for more information.
