Synopsis
Celebrity teams from ITV's biggest shows (and EastEnders, for some reason) come together to compete and sing for Britain.
There's very little to say about the format: Each team has an introductory VT (they talk a bit about mental health because this is tied in to ITV's ongoing "Britain Get Talking" campaign, hence the rather clunky title), then take to the stage to perform their song, the judges blather for a bit, repeat for 50 minutes before a winner is announced (there is no scoring during the course of the show). So if you've seen any other performance show, it's like that.
