A new X Factor machine has been launched in Telford Shopping Centre.

The state-of-the-art booth is open for auditions and allows several singers inside the machine at one time.

Wannabe soloists or group performers are able to choose from hundreds of tracks to sing along to.

The booth will deliver a verdict from three judges before burning the song onto DVD for performers to take home and show off to family and friends.

Tracy Hadley, marketing manager at Telford Shopping Centre, said: “We’re thrilled to have the X Factor machine here at Telford.

“We’re encouraging everybody to have a go at this uniquely interactive and fun experience. After all, who knows where it might lead?”

The machine costs £5 per go, and has been developed by Photo-Me International plc, and Fremantle Media Enterprises (FME), the licensor for the hit entertainment programme.
