Roman Kemp returns with more singing celebrities

Best on the Box choice for Christmas Eve 2023…

Last year, Loose Women were declared champions with their rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water but who has what it takes to impress this year and walk away victorious? Hosted by Roman Kemp, Britain Get Singing tonight sees five groups made up of stars from some of TV’s best-known programmes such as Good Morning Britain, Love Island, Coronation Street, The Masked Singer and EastEnders take to the stage in a bid to deliver a show-stopping performance.

Presenter Roman Kemp:

“It’s one of the real fun shows on at Christmas this year. There’s no judgement or anything like that. It’s pure Christmas party vibes with all your favourite TV shows. It’s fantastic. 

“At the heart of it is the Britain Get Talking campaign which is about mental wellbeing which is a big thing for me and being a part of that campaign is very special. We started seven million conversations from that campaign in the last year and that’s incredible! To keep carrying on that work but also having some fun with it. It doesn’t all have to be serious, it can be silly – it’s just about getting that awareness out there.”

The groups will put their vocal prowess to the test as they look to not only impress the studio audience but a Super Panel made up of some of TV’s most iconic judges. This year, The Masked Singer’s Jonathan Ross joins the Super Panel alongside Adam Lambert, Alesha Dixon and will.i.am.

The groups who will go head-to-head in this spectacular sing-off are from ITV1’s Good Morning Britain; Kate Garraway, Charlotte Hawkins, Alex Beresford, Laura Tobin and Dr Amir Khan. ITV2’s Love Island is represented by Davide Sanclimenti, Zachariah Noble, Molly Marsh, Jacques O’Neill and Marcel Somerville.

From ITV1’s Coronation Street; Claire Sweeney, Vinta Morgan, Lisa George, Cherylee Houston and Mollie Gallagher while BBC One’s EastEnders brings to the stage Emma Barton, Heather Peace, Clair Norris, Matthew Morrison, Angela Wynter and Sid Owen. Finally from ITV1’s The Masked Singer; ChrIs Kamara (Ghost), Russell Watson (Cockroach) and Aled Jones (Traffic Cone).

Presenter Roman Kemp:

“There is a surprise from none other than Ken Barlow hidden in the show. See if you can work that out!”

Supporting ITV’s mental health campaign, Britain Get Talking, this festive TV event will once again include inspiring moments in which the stars discuss their own experiences of mental health.

Britain Get Singing is supported by Mind and YoungMinds, and by SAMH in Scotland, to encourage people to look after their mental health by connecting with others. Created with Uncommon Creative Studio. This year’s show airs tonight at 9 pm on ITV1 and STV.
