Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream! When does the show hosted by Zoe Ball start and who are the presenters?

Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream is a brand new talent show hosted by the 52-year-old BBC Radio 2 presenter and featuring a star studded judging panel.

The series premieres on Sunday, October 22 at 6pm on ITV1 and will run for eight weeks.

What is the show’s premise?

Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream sees seven boys and seven girls compete on the Greek Island of Corfu as the show searches for two actors to star as Sophie and Sky in Mamma Mia! on London's West End.

The 14 contestants are put through their paces by producer Judy Craymer, choreographer Anthony Van Laast, musical director Martin Low, and a panel of experts. They do singing, dancing and acting workshops and are judged on their performances by the panel of judges.

The TV competition will see contestants whittled down each week and each show also opens with a song and dance routine set in the streets or the beaches of Greece, very much like MAMMA MIA! the movie.

Who are the judges?
