Let It Shine is a British reality television music competition to find young men to star in The Band, a new stage musical featuring the songs of Take That.[1] It aired in January and February 2017 on BBC One.[2] The show is presented by Graham Norton and Mel Giedroyc, with Gary Barlow, Dannii Minogue and Martin Kemp serving as judges throughout the series.[3] Amber Riley was the guest judge for the auditions,[4] followed by Lulu for the group round.[5] Ricki Lake was the guest judge for the first live show,[6] Ashley Roberts for the semi-final[7] and Peter Kay for the final.

The show was won by the band Five To Five who won the part as the band in the new musical The Band which will start touring later this year.

Production

The show's title comes from Take That's 2007 single "Shine".[8] Amber Riley, Lulu, Ricki Lake, Ashley Roberts and Peter Kay acted as guest judges of the competition, respectively.[9] Busted, Beverley Knight, Melanie C, Olly Murs and Kaiser Chiefs performed with the contestants split into groups as part of the second round of the competition, which was filmed at MediaCityUK, Salford in November 2016.[10]

In June 2017, a second series had been axed due to the BBC running out of fresh ideas. However the BBC confirmed that a second series still could happen in the near future.

Format

There are three stages to the competition:[11]

  • "The Starway" (auditions)
  • "The Collaborations" (group stage)
  • "The Battle of the Bands" (live shows)
