Stephen Mulhern to host Get Your Act Together

Stephen Mulhern Catchphrase ITV
ITV has commissioned a brand new entertainment series, Get Your Act Together, which will see some of our best-loved stars join forces with some of the world’s most talented variety acts to put on a unique performance.

 

Each week, Catchphrase host Stephen Mulhern will be joined by five different celebrities who battle it out to learn jaw dropping talents, from contortion to fire dancing, ventriloquism to acrobatics, juggling to plate spinning. Under the watchful guise of the world’s most talented acts and performers, the celebrities will have intensive training to master their chosen skill.  Viewers will see unique collaborations as the celebrity and their mentors then take to the stage together to perform in front of a studio audience.

Among the celebrities taking part are: Ann Widdecombe, Brian McFadden, Danielle Lloyd, James Bolam , Oliver Mellor, Sherrie Hewson, Roxy Shahidi, Jedward, Ruth Madoc, Sinitta, Phil Tufnell, Natalie Anderson, Matthew Wolfenden, Nigel Havers, Chip, Claire Richards, Gaby Roslin, Gareth Thomas and Nina Wadia.

Alongside them are award winning acts, including: Penn and Teller, Catwall Acrobats, Les Beaux Frere,  Shaolin Monks, Circus of Men, Les Bubb mime and The Moscow State Circus.

Viewers will also get to see all the action from backstage as our celebrities attempt to overcome their nerves and face last minute rehearsals ahead of their  moment in the spotlight.

Each week it will be down to the studio audience to decide which celebrity, along with their mentor, has entertained them the most and goes through to the final.

“I’m so excited to be hosting this brand new show for ITV.  I absolutely love variety and I can’t wait to see what the celebrities have (or haven’t!) learnt.” – Stephen Mulhern
