GAZETTE & HERALD: CHIPPENHAM schoolboy James England could be crowned Britain's Best Burper this morning as he stars in the final battle of a children's TV show.

James, 11, beat thousands into the final of Nickelodeon's competition to find the nation's most talented belcher, which will be broadcast on the channel's breakfast show this morning.

The nail-biting final of The Burp Factor will be broadcast at 7am.

James will face an expert panel of judges who will critically assess whether his talents deserve to be rewarded with the sought-after title.

James said: "I can't believe that I got through to the final. I'm nervous about doing it in front of a panel of judges. I've been practising around the house and burping anywhere."

The prize is a holiday in Florida.
