This should be interesting. 

Gary Barlow is about to team up with Graham Norton for a new talent which is set to rival The Voice UK.

According to The Guardian, the new show will be called Let It Shine, and will be a Take That themed talent show where the winners go on to perform in a Mamma Mia-style musical.

Let it Shine will be presented by Graham Norton and Mel Giedroyc from The Great British Bake Off and will replace the slot previously held by The Voice on BBC.

Similar to other talent shows, it will see contestants competing for a place in a group that will join a new stage show called The Band, featuring the music of Take That.

Speaking about the news show Gary has said:

“Back in 1989, we were just a group of normal guys from Manchester who came together to become Take That.

“The secret to our success was that each of us brought something different to the group and that the five of us had real chemistry.

“Now with Let It Shine we’re looking for people from all walks of life to form another unique group who can recreate that magic.

“If you think you’ve got what it takes, we want to see it.”
