Get Your Act Together is starting to sound like it will be the best thing on our screens in the new year.
ITV's new series sees various celebrities trying to learn new skills before performing them with experts in their field, and we've already been told about lot of the stars who will be taking part.
But now we've found out what some of them will be doing - and the thought of 79-year-old New Tricks actor James Bolam duetting with Michael Bublé on 'Me And My Shadow' is just too much for us to deal with.
According to the Daily Star, that's what we can expect - as well as Amy Willerton dancing on roller skates, Phil Tufnell showing off his basketball skills, the cast of Emmerdale doing a "magic" quick change stage act and Jedward performing some illusions.

Jake Quickenden lolling seductively in the surf, Nadia Forde beaming in a red bikini, and poor Edwina Currie kissing a koala called Rogue before he urinated all over her - these are just some of the cheesiest pre-jungle photoshoots.

Let's celebrate with 13 of the silliest and seriously staged shoots from before and after the jungle below:
1. Edwina Currie
Everyone knows the old showbiz adage - never work with children or animals. But that didn't hinder former politician Edwina Currie - confirmed for her jungle debut tonight - who happily puckered up to a koala aptly named Rogue as he urinated all over her top. Currie took part in the shoot at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in Queensland yesterday (November 19).

Michael Buerk
Age: 68
Famous for: BBC newsreader and war reporter
Phobias: Michael very sensibly says: "There is no point saying you hate spiders as the next thing you know, you will be banged up with them." He is allergic to cats, but doesn't think there'll be any in the jungle. We'll see.
Fact #1: Michael is missing his twins' birthday to be in the jungle.
Fact #2: Michael inspired Band Aid in 1984 with his reporting of the Ethiopian famine.

Sam Faiers has discussed her decision to leave The Only Way Is Essex, explaining that her relationship with Joey Essex was more important than appearing on the show.
Faiers left the ITV2 constructed reality programme in the series 11 finale last week, in order to focus on her health after being diagnosed with Crohn's disease earlier this year and spend more time with her on-again boyfriend Essex.

Joey Essex has spoken to Digital Spy about his shocking I'm a Celebrity weight loss.
The Towie star, who shed one-and-a-half stone in the jungle, revealed that he has been over-indulging in fast food, sweets and spaghetti bolognaise after concerning fans with a picture of his skinny frame.
"If you've seen the amount of McDonald's and chocolate I've been eating, you'd be very surprised," he told us at The Sun Military Awards last night (December 11).
"People on the plane were actually saying, 'That boy over there is eating so much'. They didn't realise I'd been in the jungle for a month. I've been eating so much."
Essex added that he was determined to look as "suave" as possible for the awards after being unable to groom himself in the jungle, even if his suit is now slightly too big for him.
"Can you see I'm looking really suave now?" he asked.

And then there were three.
After a shocking double eviction that left Twitter reeling, Lucy Pargeter, Kian Egan and David Emanuel are the surprise trio left standing at the final weekend.
The 'Joey Essex Show' was brought to a sudden halt, but his showmance with Amy Willerton can continue as the pair were booted out of camp together by viewers.
While many will be left scratching their heads at Friday night's (December 6) result, viewers will have to quickly move on and decide who should be the King or Queen of the Jungle on Sunday night.
Two more shows and a couple of devilish Bushtucker Trials remain in the way of a comfy bed and a proper meal for the trio, but who has the strength of personality and public support to take home the crown?
Westlife's Kian is the clear bookies' favourite and ticks all the classic I'm a Celeb champion boxes.

The 'Celebrity Cyclone' challenge required the celebrities to each make it to a marker, but they had to battle wind and rain to get there.
David Emanuel took five stars to the first marker, while Lucy Pargeter took four of his to make it to the second stage.
Amy Willerton took three of Pargeter's stars but initially missed her marker, slipping down because of the wind and water. However, Emanuel gave her a push to help her get back up.
Joey Essex then managed to get to his spot, but Kian Egan faced a huge gush of water which pushed him, Essex, Willerton and Pargeter back down the slope.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Lucy Pargeter admitted that she was "ready to blow" after further disagreements with campmate Amy Willerton.
Pargeter had been in a bad mood already as the other celebrities commented on how sad the departure of Rebecca Adlington and Alfonso Ribeiro was.
"It's so sad that we are here for another f**king day," she complained.
However, she became more annoyed when Willerton suggested an alternative way of cooking the beans, saying: "When we were in Snake Rock we found a fast way of doing them. We boiled them then fried them, and they weren't as nice but they were quick. If you don't want to wait for hours, that's the solution."
Pargeter didn't take kindly to the suggestion, replying: "Well, they tasted like s**t."
When Willerton suggested that the current beans also "taste[d] like s**t", Pargeter replied: "Well, I've done my best.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars Alfonso Ribeiro and Kian Egan were celebrating after winning eight meals for camp in the latest Bushtucker Trial.
Ribeiro immediately volunteered for the challenge, aware that he was the only celebrity who hadn't fought for food.
"I'm doing it no matter what it is," he said. "I prepared myself mentally for today. I'm the only one who hasn't done one to date, so I have first rights no matter what it is."
While Amy Willerton also volunteered to take part in the 'Planks of Peril' trial, the other celebrities decided to send Egan with Ribeiro instead.
When the duo arrived at the Bushtucker clearing, they discovered that they would have to walk along planks raised high in the sky and collect the star hanging above their head - but one of them would be blindfolded and the other would have to guide them.

"I kind of wanted to talk to her about a couple of things, the perception, and it was really good to do that because I got her perception on the event. And I say the word 'perception' because you get perceptions in the camp and they see things differently in there."

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars Amy Willerton and Lucy Pargeter have cleared the air over their recent contraband disagreement.
Willerton handed in some banned concealer earlier this week but was disappointed to learn that the other contestants had been discussing it while she was out of camp.
She later turned to Rebecca Adlington to express her sadness, though the Olympic swimmer promised: "They are not saying nasty things apart from the fact they are disappointed in you for not handing it in."
"Well, the guys have said they are," Willerton replied. "The other women snap at me constantly, and you might not have noticed it, but they whisper so much and are making me paranoid, I just think I haven't done anything."
She continued: "I don't feel I can talk to them because they are not upfront with me. It's only me they have an issue...

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! stars won a chance to spend the night in the Jungle Arms recently.
The celebrities were split into teams and took part in a quiz called 'If You Don't Know Me By Now' to win the chance to visit the camp pub, while Laila Morse chose a gold ball from a tombola drum to become the quiz master - who automatically won a ticket.
The blue team consisted of David Emanuel, Joey Essex, Rebecca Adlington, Steve Davis and Vincent Simone, while their rivals, the red team, were Kian Egan, Alfonso Ribeiro, Amy Willerton, Lucy Pargeter and Matthew Wright.
Among the questions were what style of dance Simone is famous for, which year Princess Diana wore the dress Emanuel designed, and which soap Egan's wife was in.
The blue team ended up winning, meaning that they were able to visit the Jungle Arms with Morse.
