All Star Musicals at Christmas will see six celebrities perform a hit from a famous musical in front of a star-studded panel.

Anita Rani, Ben Miller and Catherine Tyldesley are in the All Star Musicals at Christmas line-up, alongside Gyles Brandreth, Radzi Chinyanganya and Fern Britton.

RadioTimes.com recently caught up with Miller, who spoke about the experience. "I was really, really delighted to be asked - and terrified," Miller revealed. "I've just loved the whole experience. What really attracted me to doing it as a show was the fact we would get training. Quite serious vocal and dancing training."

And that training gets put to very good use - expect brilliant vocals, complex dance routines and a whole load of fun as All Star Musicals at Christmas comes to screens on Boxing Day.
