IT'S official... Potters Bar schoolchildren Jack Fox, James Hodge and Amber Todd have the X factor!
In conjunction with Hertsmere Borough Council and Top Hat Stage School, the children have each been awarded a prestigious scholarship to the drama institution.
They all took part in auditions to show off their talents in dance, drama and singing, with a chance of winning the one-year scholarships, worth �780 each.
The talented youngsters were officially acknowledged by Hertsmere deputy mayor Eddie Roach at a presentation evening last month at Elm Court Community Centre in Potters Bar.
Warren Bacci, principal of Top Hat Stage School, said: "This is the first time we have ever given away a year's scholarship before.
"I was very excited at the prospect of giving these places away to talented children who may not otherwise be able to afford attending a stage school."
