WANNABE stars took to the stage to showcase their singing and dancing skills at a talent show.

Auditions for Gravesham Has Talent took place at Woodville Halls in Windmill Street, Gravesend, last Sunday (April 25) and more than 30 acts attempted to dazzle the judges.

Places in the final were handed to 16 acts, who will return to the theatre on June 4 to compete in front of celebrity judge Doom, from TV show Gladiators, and a live audience for the prize of £500.

Tom Swift, who organised the competition for Captiv8 Productions, said: “There was a very high level of talent on display so it was not easy to pick 16 finalists.”
