X FACTOR winner Sam Bailey is inviting up-and-coming singers to perform with her at one of her concerts.

Singers from Malvern and the surrounding area can enter a competition to win the chance to perform alongside Ms Bailey during her Sing My Heart Out tour.

The lucky winner will take to the stage at the Forum Theatre, in Malvern, on Saturday, March 11 and sing with the number one selling artist.

Ms Bailey, who won the tenth series of X Factor, said: "The X Factor was an enormous turning point for me, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without the push I got as a result.

"There are so many truly talented artists out there who just haven’t found the right platform to get that step up yet, I felt it was only right that I offered some support that could hopefully help them on their path.

"I also wanted my tour to be a personalised experience for my fans, and what could be more personal than being able to enjoy the music of a home-grown performer in an incredible venue like Malvern Theatres?"

The London-born singer was working as a prison guard when she auditioned for X Factor in 2013.

Her first single 'Skyscraper' was named Christmas number one that year, and she enjoyed continued success when her debut album reached the top spot in the 2014 album charts.

She is about to embark in a 32-date tour of the UK and is offering rising stars the chance to sing with her at each show.

To enter the competition, singers are asked to submit a video of themselves performing to sambaileycompetition@championsukplc.com

Each applicant must include 'Malvern' in the email subject box to be considered.
