A SINGER hoping to win next year's X Factor says she can't do it without the help of talented people from Blandford.

Jade Moore, 29, is holding open auditions on November 14 and 15 in a bid to recruit a group of singers to win one of the biggest prizes in British show business.

Jade has already recruited the judging talents of Nuno Fernandez and Rebeccah Hannant of Blandford dance group, Studio B, at whose East Street HQ the auditions will be held.

Blandford-based promotions firm, Big Man Entertainments, are also supporting Jade's bid for TV stardom.

The former Blandford Upper School pupil performed her first paid gig at the tender age of 15 at a hotel in Bournemouth but has taken the last seven years out from her singing career to start a family.

But with older sons Tristan, aged seven, and four-year-old Hayden, happily installed at the Archbishop Wake School, Jade is ready to embark on her biggest challenge to date.
