AUDITIONS for ITV’s singing talent show The Voice will take place in Barnsley next week.

Michelle-Angel Ruse, who arranges the auditions, said: “This is the fourth year ITV has asked me to help them run auditions, which I am very proud to be associated with.

“I fight hard to get them to come every year to the north. We have such great talent here and I want to get Barnsley spinning some chairs.”
