All Star Musicals is back for another one-off special, with a new line-up of celebrities hoping to impress the judges with their grasp of show tunes.

This time around, seven celebrities will take to the stage of the London Palladium, where they’ll perform a selection of musical classics in a bid to be crowned the All Stars champion.
