COULD your voice top sell-out stars Little Mix, Louisa Johnson or Matt Terry?

The X Factor team is back in search of the nation's top vocal talent with open auditions kicking off this weekend.

As part of the nationwide audition tour, the show's producers are heading to Clacton Pier on Wednesday, March 15, from 11am until 5pm.

Auditions continue on Thursday, March 16, at Culver Square Shopping Centre, in Colchester, from 10.30am until 5pm.

Should you impress the team, you stand a chance of singing in front of the X Factor celebrity judges during the summer.

Presenter Dermot O’Leary said: “2016 was a fantastic year for The X Factor and now we’re about to kick start the auditions for this year.

"We found some incredible talent and some amazing voices and now it could be your turn.

"Just one audition could change your life so if you think you’ve got what it takes then why don’t you apply?”

To take part you can register online at https://application.xfactor.tv or show up for the audition on the day.

If you cannot make the live auditions, you can upload a video of yourself.

The Mobile Audition Tour is also visiting smaller towns and cities. For the full details see itv.com/xfactor.
