When Gary Barlow returns to reality TV next year on BBC One's Let It Shine, he'll have a proper X Factor legend at his side.

In news that is probably sending Simon Cowell through the roof at this very moment, Dannii Minogue has confirmed that she'll be a mentor on Gary's ambitious new musical theatre reality competition Let It Shine.

"I'm so excited to be returning to the UK and joining the judging panel of Let It Shine," she told The Sun. "To be a performer, you must have a burning desire to perform, then you train at all the skills you need to shine. This show gives everyone that chance. I can't wait."

Let It Shine chronciles Gary, Dannii and two more celebrity mentors in searching for five young men to star in a new Take That musical.
