Ipswich Talent show ‘champion of champions’ line-up

This should be a good one. I judged the first 3 competitions and I know the winners of those are worth coming to on their own!

The line-up for this year’s Ipswich Has Got Talent (IHGT) final has been unveiled.

The new-look event features one big "champion of champions" night at the Ipswich Regent, with previous winners returning to the theatre to belt out their best hits or perform their favourite dance or specialty acts.

Mike Grimwood, IHGT organiser at Ipswich Borough Council, said: “Bringing back all the winners and some of the best finalists since 2009 ensures that it will be a show to remember on Saturday 24^th September. We are looking forward to some great performances and to crown the champion of champions.”

Further details and ticketing arrangements will be released in May but the line-up is:

Camilla Nunn, Kevin Hart, Natasha Staffieri, Connie Lamb, Liam Stewart, Marcus House, Ipswich Hospital Choir, Just Jay Dance, Jess King, Torwood Wheelers, Diamond, Tia B, The Cheeky Monkeys, Matt Wisby and Cameron Bridge.
