The T'Pau singer has joined the cast of the comedy short alongside 'After Life' star Diane Morgan, who will make her directorial debut on the project.
The 15-minute comedy is one of four shorts which bosses feel will appeal to all types of audiences and the others include 'Brain In Gear', 'Lazy Susan', and 'Sorry'.
Although it is unknown who the 'China In My Hand' hitmaker will play, the show will follow Diane as a woman who is desperate to buy a sofa and the 'Motherland' star also penned the script, found the film's location and made choices on hair, costume and make-up.
She previously joked: "As well as writing and performing in this, I also did location scouting, prop-buying, costume and my own hair and make-up. But if it's no good I can always blame the director. Oh hang on, that was me as well."
The BBC said of the show in a statement: "Have you ever seen a sofa you like in a shop window and really wanted it? Wanted it so much you can't stop thinking about it? Wanted it so much you feel physically sick?
"Wanted it so much that nothing else in your life matters and you'd do anything, literally anything to get it, no matter the cost? Of course, you have, we all have.
"And at long last, someone has made a comedy film about really, really wanting a sofa. We could tell you the sofa is a metaphor for something - happiness maybe, or equality perhaps. But it isn't. It's just a really nice sofa."
