Gary Barlow has got a brand new reality show coming to BBC One which will see the singer put together the cast of a brand new Take That musical.
On "Let It Shine", which will take place over eight weeks, Barlow and three mentors will be searching for stars who can live up to Take That's legacy in the stage show.
It is being created in association with Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Barlow himself.
"Let It Shine" will be hosted by Graham Norton and Mel Giedroyc, though we have no word on who will be joining Barlow as mentors yet.
The lucky winning group will get the chance to perform Take That's greatest hits in a nationwide stage show called The Band.
"Back in 1989 we were just a group of normal guys from Manchester who came together to become Take That," Barlow said.
"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.
