ITV's The X Factor is coming to Norfolk this evening, with pre-booked auditions being held at The Birdcage Pub in Norwich City Centre. An open-mic style evening starts at 7pm. Only invited singers will be allowed to take part.

The show's producers plan to get through about 70 auditions, in the hope of maybe finding the next Little Mix or Olly Murs. The successful performers will be invited to sing in front of the show's famous line-up of judges later in the year.

A regular open-mic night already runs at the city centre pub. Its Events Manager, Robbie Powell, says he expects a high standard of singing at tonight's event.
