Five of the world's greatest tribute acts go head to head in this one-off special, hosted by Paddy McGuinness.
The 60-minute special will celebrate the biggest names in pop music by bringing together the world’s top tribute artists for a glamorous night of performing and competing.
With music from the likes of Whitney Houston, George Michael, Little Mix, Amy Winehouse and Bruno Mars. Even Better Than The Real Thing will see performances from professional tribute artists who are quite simply the very best in the game. The five acts pay tribute to music legends Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars, George Michael, Little Mix and Whitney Houston.
The acts each perform one of the most iconic songs originally made famous by their artist, before the studio audience choose their favourite three to perform again. This time they pull out all the stops with a very special collaboration, where they are joined on stage by another tribute artist paying homage to an iconic music legend.
Also in the show will be unique and surprising duets, as the tribute artists deliver never-before-seen collaborations.
After the duets round, the live studio audience will vote again for their favourite performer - the one act on the night that truly is even better than the real thing and that act is crowned the winner.
