Horton won the competition with both her calling and line dancing skills, the second of which Mecca now offers classes in.

The Caller of the Year competition involved participants from various Mecca Bingo venues across the country. After competing in regional heats, six finalists advanced to the showdown at Mecca Bingo Wednesbury. There, contestants were judged on personality, stage presence, audience interaction, and overall engagement with the crowd. Horton’s unique combination of entertaining skills and engaging presence earned her the win.

National Bingo Game Caller of the Year Competition

Following her win, Horton will represent Mecca Bingo in the UK’s National Bingo Game Caller of the Year competition. This event, scheduled for November in Wakefield, will see her face off against callers from other bingo operators, independent venues, and holiday parks. Judges, alongside fans, will evaluate the contestants during the competition.

I’ve worked at Mecca Bingo for a really long time (17 years), so it differs every day! I love the spread of different people I get to meet and chat with every day. But, above all, it’s such a great feeling when you call out winning numbers for big wins – especially when it helps them pay for big life events like a hen party or moving house. Having competed at Wednesbury against some of the best of the best, it’s a real honor to be heading to Wakefield to represent Mecca. I hope I’ve done Brierley Hill proud, and I can’t wait to celebrate with our customers.
