SCOTS singer Mark Angels has been lined up as one of the new talents on Gary Barlow's latest reality show Let It Shine.

Mark, real name Mark Angelico, who is half Filipino and half Scottish, can be seen in the latest trailer for the show which was released on New Year’s Eve.

3 Mark has been tipped to star in the new BBC talent show

He told his friends he was 'scouted' for the show after he released his first self-penned track Do It For Love earlier this year.

The 21-year-old who lives in Glasgow describes himself as a singer/songwriter/producer and dancer.

He has built a strong Scots following after winning Unsigned Act of the Year 2013 when he was 18 at the Young Scot Awards.

As a result his song Drop Down Low was playlisted on Clyde One In:Demand Radio at the time.

An insider said: "Mark has made a real impression on the Let It Shine team.

“He's been flying back and forth to London and is pretty excited about things but has had to keep everything hush hush.

“He's built up a following through his pop music but this will see him show off another side of his musical talent."

Mark has also been writing songs with production outfit RedZone Entertainment who were responsible for Umbrella by Rihanna and hits by Justin Bieber Bieber, Usher and Beyonce.

Let It Shine is the latest reality show offering by the BBC and begins on January 7, at 7pm the same night that The Voice U.K. launches on ITV.

3 Gary Barlow, Dannii Minogue and Martin Kemp will be on the judging panel

As the brainchild of Take That’s Gary Barlow, over eight weeks, Gary and the judges will try and find five boys who will create a band to star in a theatre production.

Gary said: "We're looking for someone who can sing, someone who can move, someone who can keep an audience on the edge of their seats."

The five winning boys will get to tour the UK in a theatre production called The Band – a musical stage show featuring the music of Take That.

Alongside Gary Barlow, the permanent judges will be Martin Kemp and Dannii Minogue.

“So the chance to bring my experience and knowledge of west end musicals, to help cast for a new show, feels a privilege and I am thrilled to do it."
