Synopsis

Myleene Klass and Alan Titchmarsh host as each week eight moderately well-known popstars, under the tutelage of Katherine Jenkins and Rolando Villazón, learn to perform operatic arias. On each live programme, each popstar must perform, after which the judging panel, consisting of the two mentors alongside well-known operatic superstars Meat Loaf (eh?), and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen (again, eh?), give their verdict on the performance.

After all of the popstars have performed, the phone lines are opened for Joe Public to vote for who they want to see progress to the following week's programme. Following a well-trodden format, the two popstars that receive the fewest public votes must sing again, before one of them is sent packing by the judges. The field is narrowed over several weeks, before two popstars are eliminated in the semi-final, leaving two to battle it out in the final, for the chance to be declared the winner.
