Birds of a Feather star Linda Robson and ex-Bolton and Arsenal footballer Fabrice Muamba will be among the celebrities being taught to sing by choirmaster Gareth Malone for this year's official Children in Need song.
Malone, famed for transforming ordinary members of the public into veritable singers, has this time given himself the unenviable task of doing the same to a group of celebrities in All Star Choir.
But he faces a tricky time of it with these well known names. As well as Essex girl Linda, the wannabe singers include Bake Off's Mel Giedroyc, actors Larry Lamb and Alison Steadman, and comedian Jo Brand.
Countryfile's John Craven, Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood, EastEnders actor Nitin Ganatra and actor Radzi Chinyanganya make up the rest of the volunteers.
But the pressure starts to tell on Malone once it dawns on him what he's taken on.
After their first public performance, he reiterates: "I don't want this to fail, I don't want this to fall flat, it's got to be right."
Gareth's All Star Choir is on BBC One tonight at 9pm
