The programme will see a line-up of stars, including the journalist, belt out show tunes when it airs later this month.

Other famous faces participating in the one-off special include TV doctor Ranj Singh, barrister Robert Rinder, EastEnders star Luisa Bradshaw-White, actor Jessica Hynes and presenter Barney Walsh.

Peston said: “I love singing though I haven’t sung in front of an audience since university. And I have always adored old Broadway and Hollywood musicals, a passion I inherited from my late dad.

“So in the middle of lockdown, when asked by ITV whether I fancied indulging a fantasy and learning how to sing and perform one of my favourite show numbers, I thought, ‘yes’.

“I will make a fool of myself, but I could not care less.”

Singh will perform Come What May from Moulin Rouge while Rinder tackles Be Our Guest from Beauty And The Beast.
