A SINGING sensation is setting off on a world tour with some of the most popular artists from the UK and America.

Reece Bibby shot to fame when he was one eighth of Stereo Kicks which took part in The X Factor in 2014.

When the band split after finishing fifth and releasing their debut single, the now 18-year-old from Accrington joined New Hope Club and signed a record label with Disney.

The band, which is also made up of Blake Richardson, 17, and George Smith, 18, have been touring the UK and Ireland with popular teen group The Vamps and were seen at the Manchester Arena last weekend.

Reece is due to take to the stage at the 02 Arena in London this Saturday, to be watched on by thousands of fans and his family, before jetting off across the world later this year.

New Hope Club will touch down in countries including Brazil and Japan as part of The Vamps’ tour, as well as travelling to the USA with teenage singer Sabrina Carpenter who has starred on the Disney Channel.

They are also due to perform on the same bill as another Disney star, Tini.
