"Soapstar superstar" UK

[The Phoenix]

I'm no great fan of this show but some of you's might be so I thought i'd post the final line up:

"Coronation Street will be represented by Antony Cotton (Sean Tully), Tupele Dorgu (Kelly Crabtree) and Jane Danson (Leanne Battersby), while Emmerdale stars Hayley Tamaddon (Delilah Dingle), Ben Freeman (Scott Windsor), Verity Rushworth (Donna Windsor-Dingle) and Matthew Wolfenden (David Metcalfe) will also be joining the contest.

Stars of Australia's two main soaps have also agreed to join in the fun; Neighbours actor Alan Fletcher, who plays Karl Kennedy, and Home and Away's Mark Furze (Ric Dalby).

Former EastEnders star Elaine Lordan and Hollyoaks actress Gemma Atkinson have also signed up for the show."

(Been confirmed by ITV)

Oohhh...Alan Fletcher could be good...isn't he in a band, Waiting Room, or something? Or am I just imagining things here? Lol...could be interesting to see if Mark Furze can sing! I can see him becoming the heart-throb of the show, like Richard Fleeshman was last year. When does it start?

Is this the singing Competion won by Richard Fleeshman last year>

[Jess]

Yep!

Early in the new year.

Can't wait to see Mark sing!

[paulwynuk]

So its true that Ric has left Home and AWAY then? To concentrate on his singing career

[Hannah_S]

He could just be taking a break

[Summer_Bay]

well hes filmed scenes for next year and that was only done one or two weeks ago

[AngelRose]

Taking a break would be my guess
