A Southampton pub proved they had talent at helping others realise theirs.

Britain's Got Talent auditions were held at the Saints pub in Millbrook, Southampton on December 3, 2014.

The auditions were open to anyone who wanted to try out, regardless of age or talent.

More than 30 people from across the south sang and danced in front of a packed function room as they were filmed by the Freemantle Media UK production team.

The age of the performers ranged dramatically!

The eldest performer was 70, while the youngest were Star Struck, a girl band made up of nine-year-olds Anna Wilson and Mackenzie Richards from Fair Oak and 10-year-old Maddison Croucher from Lordshill.

The pub was chosen as the ideal location for the auditions after their own talent contest, Millbrook's Got Talent, caught the attention of the show's production company. Many of the local event's winners and runners-up returned to the pub to try their luck.

The auditions were part of the nationwide search for the next Britain's Got Talent star. Those who went through got to perform for the show's judges, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, David Walliams and Amanda Holden.

The 2015 series of Britain's Got Talent was the ninth of the show.
