Tricks and songs as Huddersfield shows it’s got talent

She received a huge round of applause and a cheer at the end.

Roya said: “It’s a huge song but I think it shows the vocal range and what I can do with my voice.”

While not auditioning, Sgt Mandy Mellor, Huddersfield town centre’s police sergeant, spotted the auditions during her patrol and popped in.

She said she’s a big BGT fan and lent her support to the singers before heading back out on patrol.

Wednesday’s auditions are preliminary with producers to view the footage before deciding who to put forward for the televised auditions, featuring judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Wallliams.

Gabriella Colasurdo, a BGT talent spotter, said: “We’ve had a couple of magicians, some singers and a guitarist.

“We film them and the footage is sent back to the show’s producers and they’ll make a decision on whether to take them to the next stage.

“Having local auditions like this means we reach far more people. We understand that it can be expensive and not everyone has the money or time to travel to London to audition.

“It gives more people a chance and it brings more variety to the show.”

Our patch has produced some BGT contestants before. Brighouse’s Jack Carroll made it all the way to the final with his comedy routine.

The hit TV show returns in early 2017.
