Taking part in the festive special is Bridgerton actor Ben Miller, who will be performing a classic number from The Rocky Horror Picture Show while wearing terrifying theatre makeup. 

After joining the show, Ben admitted: "I have a new respect for musicals! After weeks of training, I am nowhere near ready. In fact, I don’t know what I was thinking."

Ben will also be joined by presenter Fern Britton, former MP and broadcaster Gyles Brandreth, presenter Anita Rani, actress Catherine Tyldesley, and sports presenter Radzi Chinyanganya.

Anita looks equally stunning in her costume, wearing a black glitzy dress to perform All That Jazz from Chicago, famously sung by Catherine Zeta-Jones in the film adaptation. 

The celebrities won't be all on their own, however, as they will be supported by a full West End ensemble, a live orchestra, and will also receive training from esteemed West End choreographers and vocal coaches.
