’X-Factor’ hopefuls reveal the allure of Croke Park auditions

Velvin Lamont, the self-proclaimed Son of Love from Cork, made it though to the next round of the X Factor auditions that kicked off in Croke Park in Dublin yesterday.

“I am already a local celebrity. I was on the Voice of Ireland in 2013 and made it through to the live show,” said a delighted Velvin.

Dublin was first on the agenda for the X Factor live auditions and aspiring singing stars just had to turn up on the day.
