Divas Myleene Klass and Katherine Jenkins join forces to bring opera X Factor to TV
15th November 2009
Myleene Klass and Katherine Jenkins are teaming up for a new reality TV series. The Saturday night ITV1 show, which will start filming early next year, will see pop stars turned into opera singers with the help of a panel of professionals.
I understand M&S model and classical musician Myleene, 31, is lined up as the show’s host, while Welsh soprano Katherine, 29, will be one of the judges.
‘They are looking for a male host to present with Myleene and a male judge to sit on the panel with Katherine,’ says an insider. ‘The producers are very keen on having Britain’s Got Talent winner Paul Potts on the panel.
'It will be the panel’s job to train pop stars to sing opera – and each week one of the hopefuls will be voted off. There’s a lot of excitement about having Myleene and Katherine on the same show. They are both big names and they can both be divas.’
