TV producers are looking for Britain's worst amateur performers -- and they are hoping to find their star in Greater Manchester.

Would-be hopefuls are asked to turn up at the Triangle Shopping Centre, in Exchange Square, Manchester, on Sunday February 16 for the gruelling audition sessions.

Former Top Gear presenter Quentin Willson will be on hand to sift through the appalling acts for a programme soon to be broadcast on Five.

The channel is looking for corny comedians, toe curling dancers, manic magicians, tuneless karaoke queens, mumbling ventriloquists and jumbled jugglers.

The most truly terrible acts will be brought together with a top celebrity coach and experts who will help them through a series of challenges.
