FORMER X-Factor winner Joe McElderry is joined by Britain's Got Talent's Lucy Kay for an amazing production of Joseph and the Technicolour Dream Coat.

The show, by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, has been a favourite with audiences of all ages since it first hit the theatre way back in 1974.

Based on the Biblical story of Joseph and his rather badly behaved brothers, it features Elvis as the Pharoah and boasts a host of toe-tapping numbers.

Joe said he was delighted to be returning to The Playhouse in Weston where he has performed several times.

"You don't get much time when you are on tour to actually get out and visit a place but this time, I am determined to see a bit more of Weston," he said.

"I love Somerset and the audiences are always so welcoming. I love standing on the stage at The Playhouse and recognising faces in the audience. Its a great privilege to know people want to come back and see you."

He added: "The last time I was in Somerset, I had a bottle of very strong cider and don't remember much after that. This time I'll take it a bit easier."

Joe was just 18 when won the sixth series of The X Factor having been mentored by Girls Aloud star Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and beating off fierce competition from Olly Murs and Stacey Solomon.

Joe then soared to number one on the UK Singles Charts with his rendition of Miley Cyrus’s The Climb and his debut album Wide Awake went straight in at number 3 on the UK Albums Chart. He has since gone on to have two more top ten albums.

Lucy Kay scored her first number one album in 2014, after her stunning debut album Fantasia shot straight to the top of the Classical album chart. The singer, originally from Leicestershire, shot to fame and captured the country’s hearts as runner up on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014.
