BINGO-calling champion Brian Gillatt is going for a full house this year.

In 2002, he scooped the North of England title to pass to the national final, but he just missed out on winning the coveted trophy.

On October 2, Brian, 42, again goes into the regional final and is hoping he will achieve his dream of being crowned England's best Bingo caller.

Brian, who has worked at the Gala Bingo Club, in Centenary Way, Burnley, for four years, said: "I'm certainly going to give it my best shot."

The regional heat takes place at the Buckingham Bingo Club in Bradford, where Brian will compete against five other callers.
