YOUTUBE STAR HAS GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO PRESENT TV TALENT SHOW
I can’t say how excited I am. It’s such an inspiring show...
CBBC’S Got What It Takes? is returning for a fourth series next week with a brandnew presenter, YouTube star Anna Maynard.
Anna, the sister of pop star Conor Maynard says: “I can’t say how excited I am. It’s an amazing experience. It’s such an inspiring show, with so many talented young singers, giving it their all.
“You’ve got so much to look forward to!”
Once again, eight talented 11-14-year-old hopefuls – and their mums – will undertake challenges against one another in a musical boot-camp, hoping to be star of the show and make it through to the finals.
There are new challenges, and the mums are back taking on the roles of the judges in the tense sing-offs. During each 30-minute episode, the young singers will learn about the realities of the music industry and life as a ‘pop-star’; and celebrity mentors will include Olly Murs, John Newman, Max and Harvey, Sophia Grace and Bars & Melody.
The series’ finale will see four finalists competing in front of a panel of professional judges, with the ultimate opportunity of rubbing shoulders with the stars and performing at Radio 1’s Big Weekend.
Cheryl Taylor, Head of Children’s Content says: “The CBBC audience will be delighted that Got What It Takes? is back for another season.
We’re delighted to welcome Anna Maynard too – she’s a really relatable and sparky addition to the team.”
Got What It Takes? starts on Monday, on CBBC at 5.25pm.
