ONLY a few days remain to get your votes in for Southminster born singer Paul Smith.

Paul was one of hundreds of retail workers who auditioned for the Retail Trust’s Search For A Star With Master Card Competition.

He was rewarded with a hand picked place in the top 50 but is now looking to get into the top 10.

Paul, who works in Marks and Spencer in Chelmsford, has dedicated his progress in the competition to his 21-year-old cousin Jodilee Morrow, who died in September.

The deadline to vote for Paul is 11.59pm on November 30.

To celebrate the end of the text campaign Paul is playing live in the Barhouse, on Victoria Road in Chelmsford.

The show starts at 9pm and remember to bring your mobile phones to vote.

To vote for Paul text ‘STAR 43’ to 70099.
