Britain’s Got Talent is returning to Manchester in the hunt for the next Susan Boyle or Diversity.

The talent show is hosting open auditions in Manchester where the public are invited to present their unique talents in person.

The show is open to any performer of any age with any talent – the show producers say all you need is ‘a skill and star quality which you think will impress us’ and anything goes from magicians to comedians, drag acts to singers and acrobats to animal acts.
