X Factor star Shaun Rogers took on the role of judge in a Preston talent contest on Saturday.

Rogers was invited to comment on youngsters performing at a Carphone Warehouse store over the weekend, with the competitors earning a mobile phone goodie bag for their efforts.

The singer was not given a place in the final round of last year's series because Simon Cowell didn't believe he had the confidence to handle stardom.

He was later invited back onto the show to perform during the live final, and performed on the reality show's nationwide tour.
