With well over 1 million Australians living abroad, Australian Idol is on the search for talented ex-pats! With more Australians living overseas than the ACT, Northern Territory and Tasmania combined, Idol will tap into this fantastic and as yet unknown talent pool of Australians who are living and working in the UK and Europe by holding London auditions.

Our London search is to find Australian citizens who have left our shores to chase their showbiz dreams, or Aussie's who have headed off on another career path but are looking for a new challenge that could bring them back to our shores!

Australian Idol wants to give as many Australians as possible the chance to be part of this entertainment phenomenon. 

In the past 5 years Australian Idol has created a fantastic platform for many singers who have  gone onto become 'household names'. Whether it's singing , acting or TV presenting, Idol is proud of its talent heritage and history-making record sales. 

As series 6 takes shape there’ll be no stopping the Idol audition trail as it weaves its way around Australia, and now London.

Network Ten and FremantleMedia Australia today announced this exciting new development in Australian Idols ever expanding search for the best singing talent they can find.

In the UK, Ian "Dicko" Dickson will play host at the London auditions on Saturday 19th April at the historic Cumberland Hotel, which is nestled right in the heart of London's West End, It is common knowledge that London is a favoured stomping ground for many Australians and Dicko is eager to explore the talent pool that has congregated there
