LEROY WINS BBC TV TALENT CONTEST

Leroy Vickers, classical singer and tenor competed and won against three other professional entertainers on CBBC’s entertainment show, The Slammer, the only TV talent show for professional artistes.

The Show

Performing Nessun Dorma as feisty Italian opera singer, Frederico Forte, Leroy wowed the audience and beat the other entertainers with an impressive, almost maximum score on the clapometer!

Children’s entertainment show, The Slammer, is set in a mock prison and a group of entertainers are the prisoners. Part of the programme features the comic goings-on of the daily prison routine and later four of the acts perform for their freedom in front of a live studio audience.

In this episode the prison has problems with its electricity and the show may be cut short, however thanks to Leroy’s impressively powerful voice the Slammer’s generators are restocked, allowing the ‘show to go on’. Frederico Forte (Leroy) sang his heart out and generated enough power for the entire prison.

After a truly electrifying performance of Nessun Dorma the young studio audience couldn’t help but show their enthusiasm, making sure Leroy won the event and his freedom!
