The one-off ITV special will see people who have done something remarkable in their lives being given the performance of a lifetime from some of their all-time favourite music stars.

Host Emma Willis said, "This is such an amazing show to be part of… imagine seeing somebody you love, and who is so deserving being surprised with the performance of a lifetime by their musical hero! I think there'll be plenty of tears, hugs and happiness!”

Your Song will be produced by Syco Entertainment and Thames, the companies behind ITV shows The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent and will be shown in a primetime slot.

“Your Song is an extremely exciting project that we have been developing for some time," commented Nigel Hall, Global Head of Television for Syco Entertainment. "We are now delighted it is coming to fruition. And we are sure it will bring surprise, entertainment and emotion to everyone at home."

He added, "We all have that special song which means the world to us – and it will be really exciting to see superstars perform them for their biggest fans.”

Your Song will air in autumn this year on ITV.
