DEREK Sandy, the Isle of Wight's famed reggae artist, has been spotted on the Britain's Got Talent Instagram account.

The 'Welcome to the Isle of Wight' singer was pictured having his microphone attached during the audition stages of ITV's talent show which rewards the winners with a chance to perform at the Royal Variety Show.

Geordie hosts of the show, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were also featured on the account holding up 'I heart Isle of Wight' t-shirts.

Derek Sandy spoke to the County Press but couldn't confirm any details about the show.

When asked if he'd made it through the auditions, he replied: "I don't know about that."
