Pop band Hear'Say has unveiled 23-year-old Johnny Shentall as its newest member following three days of intensive auditions with hundreds of wannabe stars.
Shentall, from Doncaster, beat 4,500 hopefuls to join the popular band as a replacement for Kym Marsh, 21, who quit the group last month.
And he is already tipped to become an award winner.

Hear'Say have been nominated to win a Brit Award in London next month.
Shentall was revealed by his new band members at a packed press conference at a central London hotel.
He is not new to the limelight, being the boyfriend of former Steps star Lisa Scott-Lee as well as an ex-band member of Boom.
Hear'Say was 'manufactured' last year on the ITV show Popstars where thousands of people auditioned to be part of a new band.
'Rollercoaster'
Shentall said he was excited at the prospect of joining the group.
"It's been a rollercoaster few days," he said. "Everything just flashed in front of me over the past three days.
"It's a second chapter for Hear'Say and I am really excited about joining them."
Band member Suzanne Shaw added: "Johnny is an all-rounder, he has the right look, he sings well, dances well and he is perfect for the role."
Many of the people who had turned up to the auditions had their hopes of stardom dashed without singing a note because they did not have the "right look".

Maybe it is a clever scheme that will knock another person ouot of the band( ie. a bloke) and a nice fit women will come in again! Yeah, that will be the day...
