MCFLY’S Danny Jones is swapping pop-tastic for opera-tastic to star in a new reality show.
The Bolton singer is joining a host of celebrities who are taking part in ITV1’s prime-time show, Popstar to Operastar.
Blur’s Alex James, Bernie Nolan, ex-Pop Idol star Darius Danesh, Shakespeare’s Sister’s Marcella Detroit, Jimmy Osmond and Vanessa White from girl band The Saturdays complete the line-up.
The artists will be trained to perform world-famous opera songs, with many singing in a different language.
Welsh singing sensation Katherine Jenkins and tenor singer Rolando Villazon will mentor the stars.
Performances will be judged by rock legend Meat Loaf, along with celebrity makeover man and Classic FM DJ Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
Myleene Klass and Alan Titchmarsh will host the show, which starts on January 15.
