A TAUNTON woman who once did work experience on the County Gazette is appealing for brilliant children to spell some big words in a new TV competition for Sky 1.

Emily Littler, casting research for Spelling Star, is looking for children aged nine to 13 to take part in fun spelling games and challenges.

Anyone interested should apply via www.spellingstarapplications.co.uk by midday tomorrow (Friday, May 20), with auditions between May 21 and June 12.
