All Star Musicals 2021 line up

The six celebrities taking part in the latest special are presenter Fern Britton, actor Ben Miller, former-MP and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth, presenter Anita Rani, actress Catherine Tyldesley, and sports presenter Radzi Chinyanganya.

Fern Britton said: “A chance to dress up and dance with a full orchestra! What a Christmas present!”

Ben Miller said: “I have new respect for musicals! After weeks of training I am nowhere near ready. In fact, I don’t know what I was thinking.”

Gyles Brandeth said: “I can’t sing and I can’t dance, but I can dream! And this is a dream come true – being in a number in my favourite musical, My Fair Lady.”

Anita Rani said: “What better time to come together to perform some show stopping musical hits on stage. It’s a festive treat that’s guaranteed to bring some sparkle to everyone’s living rooms this Christmas.”

Catherine Tyldesley said: “I’m a huge musical theatre fan- so the chance to sing a song from the first musical I fell in love with is a dream come true. Really excited about the tuition too – a great chance to learn from the best.”

Radzi Chinyanganya said: “I cannot believe that I’ll be performing in front of the nation doing something that honestly terrifies and excites me in equal measure. I’m starting as a day one, hour one beginner, so I’m really going to be testing the skills of the fantastic musical coaches. I can’t really sing, I don’t normally dance, so what could possibly go wrong?!”

Meet the judges!

They’ll be performing for a judging panel made up of West End stars Elaine Paige, Samantha Barks and Trevor Dion Nicholas as well as a live studio audience.

John Barrowman will host the latest special.

He will team up with Elaine, Samantha and Trevor to open the show with a spectacular Greatest Showman medley.

Plus, there will be a performance from Samantha singing Into The Unknown from Frozen 2 and the West End cast of Dear Evan Hansen.

All Star Musicals At Christmas airs Boxing Day (Sunday 26 December) at 8PM on ITV.

A second special will follow in 2022 with the line up to be confirmed.
