Two dancers are preparing to perform at this year's Glastonbury Festival after succeeding in open auditions.

Lauren Filer, from Bristol, held the auditions on her social media accounts for the second year in a row.

Ms Filer, who has performed with some of the world's most famous musicians and singers, said: "I got inundated again, hundreds of videos were sent through, I was quite shocked."

After selecting 10 people to audition at the Hideout studios in St Jude's, Ms Filer chose her final two dancers, Harrison Campbell and Dennis Lelin.

The dancers chosen from auditions in 2024 performed with Ms Filer on the Pyramid stage alongside Shania Twain.

Ms Filer said: "This year I have been looking for something specific, it's really to do with funkiness, energy and unique looks."

Ms Filer has previously performed with some of the world's biggest names in music on the festival's main stage, choreographing dances for the crowd to join in with.

The choreographer says it is not yet known who her dancers will be performing with this year.

"We will be on stage on Sunday at some point, although I'm not sure on the exact time yet, " she added.

"It's going to be a super amazing artist."
