A huge congratulations to Jess Self, 13, from Devizes, who has won Vernon Kay’s Talent Nation…..
Presented by Park Dean Resorts, Talent Nation had over 2,500 applications and ran at 52 holiday parks across the UK.
Jess travelled to Skegness where she made the final twelve, and was then crowned the overall winner by judges, including Alison Hammond and Strictly star AJ Pritchard. She performed a medley from Hairspray The Musical.
Jess said, “it’s like a dream come true. It was such an amazing experience and was a great opportunity.”
You can see Jess, performing as Red Riding Hood at the Wharf Theatre’s pantomime, Little Red Riding Hood, running from 9th to 17th December. Tickets HERE.
Jess, who loves performing, and is currently at Stagecoach performing arts school in Trowbridge, added she “can’t wait” to perform in the Wharf Pantomime and is excited to see everyone’s hard work come together. She says she’s extremely grateful for every opportunity that comes her way.
Well done, Jess; keep up the amazing work, fingers crossed, next stop, Broadway!
