Emma Willis will host new music TV show Your Song on ITV this Sunday night.
The programme will be made by the same producers as The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent - Simon Cowell's Syco and FreemantleMedia's Thames.
The one-off special will feature a host of music’s biggest stars, coming together to celebrate the lives of real people who have done something extraordinary.
They'll get to enjoy a once in a lifetime performance from some of their favourite artists, including Rita Ora, Little Mix, James Arthur, Paloma Faith and The Script.
In the first episode on Sunday night at 9PM on ITV, we see James Arthur writing a very personal song for a young woman who has established an anti-bullying charity.
Meanwhile, Little Mix surprise three special fans with a personal appearance at their concert and Paloma Faith acts as the celebrant at a gay wedding celebration.
The Script perform for a woman recovering from the recent deaths of her mother and long-term partner and Rita Ora takes an inspirational trip back to the youth club she used to attend herself as a teenager.
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 airs Sunday, October 22, at 9PM on ITV.
Nigel Hall, Global Head of Television for Syco Entertainment, said: “Your Song is an extremely exciting project that we have been developing for some time. We are now delighted it is coming to fruition.
"And we are sure it will bring surprise, entertainment and emotion to everyone at home. 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.”
Richard Holloway, Managing Director, Thames, added: “We’re very excited to be making Your Song for ITV.
"It’s a really warm, heartfelt show celebrating the lives of real people and rewarding them with the performance of a lifetime from one of the music industry’s biggest stars.”
