Has anyone from Huddersfield ever been on BGT?

Yes, actually.

One of the most notable contestants is young comedian Jack Carroll. Jack came runner-up in the show in 2013. The 18-year-old with cerebral palsy had the panel in stitches with his gags. Just this week it was announced he is set to appear on Live at the Apollo alongside controversial comedian Frankie Boyle.

Helen Garnett appeared in the semi-final of this year’s show when she performed Jess Glynn hit Take Me Home with her three daughters. She has since gone on to launch her own choir, All For One, at Huddersfield New College.

We also ran a story earlier this year after a man from Golcar claimed a star on the show had ripped off his visual drums act. Michael Fish, an electronic dance musician who calls himself DJ Afishal, and who has appeared under a different name on BGT, hit out at Sérgio Gaocho who performed a drum and light show on the Portuguese version of the show. You can see the full story of what happened here.

Welcome to the Huddersfield's Got Talent live blog!

Whether you’re an aspiring musician, know how to tell a Christmas cracker of a joke or have a weirder and more wonderful talent, producers at Britain’s Got Talent want to see it!

The show will be making a whistle-stop to the Packhorse Centre today, in its first ever visit to Huddersfield in its tenth year of production.

And Huddersfield is no stranger to making a splash on talent shows. The town has produced a handful of hopefuls appearing on TV talent shows, including X Factor finalists Carolynne Poole and Ashford Campbell, as well as Brighouse funnyman Jack Caroll who finished as a runner-up on Britain’s Got Talent in 2013.

So join our live coverage today as we meet the locals hoping for their chance for a big break - who knows, one of them might well be the show’s next big star.
