Wannabes to strut stuff for You’re A Star auditions

THOUSANDS of budding Irish pop stars are expected to strut their stuff in a bid for fame this week as a new You’re A Star competition gets under way.

The television talent scouting team will be auditioning singers at five different locations around the country this month as people bid to follow in the footsteps of last year’s winner Lucia Evans.

Organisers expect a strong turn-out at the auditions in Dublin’s Helix venue this Wednesday after more than 1,000 pop wannabes queued for hours for the auditions in July for UK television talent competition The X Factor.
