Nearly 3000 hopeful applicants made their way to Brixton, South London, on Sunday to try out for the Hear’Say auditions.

The band are looking for a fifth member since Kym Marsh quit the band last month. After the first round which was based purely on personaility and looks, the budding popsters were given the chance to show off their vocal talents with a 40-second burst of song.

By Monday, the band had chosen 12 finalists – and a decision is expected Tuesday as to who Kym’s replacement will be!
