Gary Barlow was all smiles today as he arrived for the latest' X Factor' audition.

The Take That star was in Manchester for the second day of auditions in the city as speculation rises he may be given an honour for his work organising the spectacular Jubilee Concert on Monday.

The panel were joined by former Spice Girl Mel B who opted not to go for the leggy look favoured by many of the guest judges. Instead of a mini skirt or tiny dress she went for khaki satin trousers and heels as she arrived at Manchester’s Event City.

However she did have some flesh on display with a tight, matching, vest top.

Regular panellist Tulisa Contostavlos wore a floral mini-dress and towering heels as she took the red carpet and greeted fans who gathered outside.

Barlow has won acclaim for his handling of the royal concert which was staged outside Buckingham Palace, with a bill featuring Paul McCartney and Tom Jones, and featured Madness playing on the palace roof.

He said the Monday night show was “the biggest night of my life”.

“It’s going to take something pretty special to top it,” he added.

There have been reports that he may be recognised officially for his handling of the showpiece event.
