A budding young impressionist from Trowbridge was among the hopefuls at a regional semi-final of the Haribo Young Impressionist competition.

Esther McCann, 14, was one of 12 youngsters selected to compete at the Centre Promenade in Bristol this week for a place in the grand final, to be held in London later this month.

Entrants called a hotline number to perform a one-minute impersonation of their favourite stars and were then chosen to show off their skills in front of crowds.

The two grand final winners of the competition one from the under 12s and one from the 13 to 17-year-olds category will each win a family holiday, and will have an opportunity to meet national talent scouts.
