A BURNS enthusiast is set to make his television bow later this year after being filmed singing at a star-studded event.

Ian Capstick, who is originally from New Cumnock, performed in front of celebrity chefs Nick Nairn and Paul Rankin at the Burns Supper in Irvine.

His performance was captured on film as part of a new eight-part Ulster TV series expected to hit the screens this year.
