Kimberly Wyatt is to appear in a PopMaster TV celebrity special
The More4 music quiz show, which was first launched on BBC Radio 2 by host Ken Bruce, will return for a second series on May 13th, and it will kick off with two celebrity specials.
According to The Sun newspaper's TV Biz column, Pussycat Doll Kimberly, music producer Mistajam, former 'Coronation Street' star Sally, and singer Toyah are all part of the lineup.
Choirmaster Gareth Malone will also appear on a celebrity special, as will former 'EastEnders' actor Richard Blackwood, and comedian Nish Kumar.
Last November, it was announced 'PopMaster TV' had been commissioned for a new 16-episode series and two celebrity specials.
In the show, five contestants go head-to-head to test the depth of their music knowledge over a series of six knockout rounds.
The rounds include ‘Intros, Middles and Ends’, ‘Video Gaga’, ‘Pop Years’ and ‘It’s Only Words’.
Two players then progress to play ‘Original PopMaster’, and the winner is tasked with correctly tackling a ‘Three in 10’ if they’re to take home the coveted PopMaster TV gold disc.
Ken said at the time: "After playing 'PopMaster' on the radio for 25 years, it was a joy to work with Channel 4 and 12 Yard to finally bring it to TV screens earlier this year.
"'PopMaster TV' was brilliant fun and I’m thrilled we get to do it again but with more than double the episodes to put even more music lovers, and some celebs, to the ultimate pop trivia test."
Last June, Ken admitted he had been "surprised" by the level of interest in the TV version of 'PopMaster TV'.
He told TV and Satellite Week magazine: "I've been slightly surprised by the interest. It's been lovely.
"I would recommend, if anybody has the opportunity when they get to a certain age, to take a new direction or a different direction - do it!"
