Luke Overson's mum put him forward for the auditions, applying online a couple of months ago.

Last month, Luke travelled to Birmingham and performed in front of a camera and a representative from Simon Cowell's hit show. He will be told this month if he will join hundreds of other hopefuls in the next stage of the competition.

Luke said: "When I got there, I had to wait in line for about an hour-and-a-half, then I had to wait inside for another two hours. I think there was about 2,000 people there.

"I was completely fine on the way to Birmingham and when I was waiting but as soon as I went through the doors to do my dance, my heart started pounding because it was a big moment. I think it went quite well though. I danced for about a minute."

Luke, who is a member of Sanger House, has already vowed to audition for next year's show if he is not successful in 2012.
