Gracie wins Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge talent show

Budding musicians and entertainers took part in Burnham-On-Sea's very own version of the hit TV show Britain's Got Talent on Saturday night (December 8th).

The Princess Theatre hosted the inaugural talent show, called 'Highbridge and Burnham's Got Talent'.

Eight-year-old singer Gracie Wickens-Sweet was declared the winner after impressing the audience and judges, who included Burnham and Highbridge Mayor Ken Smout and Sam Nicol from Burnham and Highbridge Youth Theatre.

The runners-up were Peter Langley and Melissa Fear.

Jonathan Smith, the event co-ordinator, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "It was a great night full of local talent and the quality was very high. A big well done goes to everyone who entered, supported us and and came along to watch."
