The guest performers who feature on the show each week also have to sing totally naked (only vocally, thank goodness); first up to the challenge are boyband The Vamps.

The brand new singing competition hosted by Cat Deeley sees 30 of the UK's best a cappella performers competing for the chance to record an album and release a single in time for Christmas.

The competition is fierce and the standard is high, as you can see from this clip of choir Semi Toned performing in episode one:
