The Glee Project has returned for a second series in the US, with Glee star Lea Michele the first guest mentor.

In series one, Glee creator Ryan Murphy made two main roles for the joint winners Damian McGinty and Samuel Larsen, but he is going to be tougher to this year.

He said: "I think it's going to be harder than last year because I fell in love with so many of the kids [so] I chose two. This year is going to be much, much, much harder because we're only choosing one person."

One of the contestants, 18-year-old Lily Mae Harrington said: "Week after week we were reminded that there was only one winner this season and so that's the mindset that you had to put yourself in."

The Glee Project will return to UK screens this summer.
