SOUTHAMPTON shoppers will be bidding to become TV stars today for the chance to win a trip to the Big Apple.

Ant & Dec’s Supercomputer, part of the Geordie duo’s hit ITV show Saturday Night Takeaway, will be visiting the city’s WestQuay shopping centre today.

The machine is on the road looking for hidden talents and party tricks, and anyone can go along to see if they have what it takes.

Organisers are expecting hundreds of people to turn up and those who wow the supercomputer will be in the running for a trip to New York.

The show, which goes out on Saturday nights and began its new series last weekend, features pranks on celebrities, an Ant versus Dec contest, live music and one audience member bidding to win the prizes featured in the adverts.

Daily Echo: Best of Southampton.

Southampton’s most talented will feature on next Saturday’s show.

The supercomputer will be on the ground floor of the centre from 9am to 5pm, with crews filming those taking part for the show. Entrants must be over 18 and are asked to turn up on the day.
