POP stars Liberty X headlined an afternoon of fun in the sun on Monday as the CBBC Roadshow rolled into town.

Broadcasting live from Central beach, the roadshow was cheered on by thousands of happy youngsters who turned out see the chart-topping band perform their new single Got to Have Your Love.

The group, who were making a live appearance for Blue Peter, were joined by pop stars Abs, Busted and Omero for the roadshow's Blackpool date. And Nicki Chapman, top talent spotter for TV's Popstars programme, was on hand to judge a weekly dance competition to find the stars of the future.
