Robert Peston is reportedly a surprise addition to the lineup for this year's All Star Musicals.

ITV's political editor Robert Peston has reportedly signed up for this year's All Star Musicals.

The show, which first aired in 2019, features celebrities belting out their favourite show tune for one night only in the hope of being named the judges' favourite.

John Barrowman is returning as host of the programme, with judges including West End legend Elaine Paige, Hamilton's Trevor Dion-Nicholas and Les Miserables' Samantha Barks.

According to The Sun, Peston, 60, has become the "star signing" of this year's show and is said to be a "surprisingly good singer".

"Robert loves singing and music and is up for a laugh," a source told the newspaper.

"Away from the cameras he doesn't take himself too seriously and is very game.

"He is looking forward to showing off his musical ability."

Other rumoured names in the lineup include Judge Rinder judge Judge Rinder and This Morning's Doctor Ranj Singh.
