Talented singers hoping to shine in this year's X Factor competition are set to take to the stage in a Glasgow pub to impress producers. 

Simon Cowell's team on the hit ITV show have agreed to host auditions in The Clutha as part of its next series. 

Those who make the cut at the bar will then be invited to take to the stage in front of celebrity judges during one of the programme's televised auditions.

Speaking to The Scottish Sun, the pub's boss Alan Crossan said he was "happy to agree" after television bosses came forward with a proposal to use the tragedy-hit venue. 

He added: "The Clutha has long welcomed musicians to perform. We've had big names like Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty and ultimately I don't think the city needs X Factor for the tradition to continue.

"But the landscape has changed in recent years so we have to embrace it."

Auditions will be held on Monday, February 4, between 8pm and 11pm. These are open to anyone interested. 

An X Factor spokeswoman added: "If you think you have what it takes, make sure you apply."
