Vernon Kay and Tess Daly are to host new BBC1 entertainment show Just the Two of Us, a series created by the team behind Strictly Come Dancing.
The programme will pair celebrities with internationally renowned singers and nine couples will compete. The duos will have to sing in a variety of styles, including country and western, musical, swing, rock ballad, pop and soul. They will be judged by a panel of industry experts and then viewers will have the chance to vote for their favourite.
In a new twist, once the losers have been announced, the couple polling the next lowest will have to hit the campaign trail and visit the region where they gained the least number of votes and convince people to vote for them next time.
BBC Radio 1 DJ and T4 host Kay said: “I’m so excited about working on such a great format with so many stars performing. It’s going to be a cracking few weeks of top family entertainment.”
While Strictly Come Dancing host Daly and Kay married in 2003 and have a child, this will be the first time they work together.
Daly said: “It’s great to be getting right back to the glitz and glamour of a live music entertainment show and I’m really looking forward to working with someone I know so well.”
