Who is taking part in All Star Musicals? Best known for presenting the weather on Good Morning Britain, Alex Beresford has recently quit his job as a weatherman for ITV West Country for a new position in the ITV national news team. She said: "As a wildlife presenter, I don't often get the chance to swap the walking boots and outdoor gear for something sparkly! Before performing, the six celebrities will undergo a musical theatre masterclass from Elaine Paige, Samantha Barks, and Trevor Dion Nicholas. The celebrities taking part are Good Morning Britain presenter Alex Beresford, actress Jacqueline Jossa, wildlife presenter Michaela Strachan, Coronation Street's Lisa George, James Bond actor Colin Salmon, and rugby star Danny Care. While ITV has not announced what specific songs each celebrity will be singing they have said the musical hit will "range from traditional to contemporary" and be from musicals including Frozen, Les Miserables, 42nd Street, and Hamilton.

There will also be a performance from the cast of The Phantom of the Opera during the show. Queen of the jungle Jacqueline Jossa is best known for her role as Lauren Branning in the BBC soap EastEnders. Speaking about going on All Star Musicals she said: “I am so excited to take part in All Star Musicals, it's thrilling and terrifying, and I can't wait to tackle a musical number that everyone knows and loves." TV presenter and singer John Barrowman will be hosting the show, after he was dropped from Dancing On Ice. Each celebrity will perform one song from a musical, while supported by a full West End ensemble and a live orchestra, before a winner is crowned.

All Star Musicals has crowned its latest winner in this weekend's (3 April) special. The all-singing, all-dancing show returned for a brand new one-off.

Trevor Dion Nicholas, who had mentored Alex on his performance, said: "I'm so proud of you and the work that put in is what's put you in this position. Alongside the performances from the celebs, there were some special performances from the judges and host performing medley from Grease. Everyone behind me is a deserving winner and you've made it extra special."

John Barrowman was replaced by Oti Mabuse for the most recent series of ITV's Dancing on Ice.

Twitter user @Rockchic76 asked: "How's john barrowman still doing this on itv but got sacked from dancing on ice #AllStarMusicals." Chris @theraffleboy was equally taken aback by ITV's choice of presenter, asking: "How has John Barrowman got this gig."

That’s the one thing you know television and theatre have got in common- they are both live and the adrenaline that you get being on live television and being on stage in front of a live audience is amazing so I would look at options for sure. It was an absolute blessing to have Trevor as my mentor but also there was an extra layer of pressure to do the song justice because he obviously is a judge but has a massive invested interest in the song that I am doing because he is on stage every night in the West End. He knew all the words to the song as well because when we were in rehearsals, he was doing it and showing me a few bits and pieces. When I am rehearsing sometimes I mess about with accents and voices so look, rapping the weather could be a thing that we do! Or the only person I can think of is this guy that used to be in Eastenders, his character was Lucas [played by Don Gilet] and he was the priest in Eastenders back in the day and people used to mistake me for him and one day we got to meet actually and we were laughing our heads off! I am a fan of the heat so going to Australia would be awesome. Are we going to see you rapping the weather next? I mean dare I say it, it would have to be Hamilton. No one has been in touch yet. But again through practice and the breathing techniques that you get through the coaching, you do get to grips with it. It was everything that I imagined and more and it just all came together and it was such a great feeling. To hear the band play your music on the day was one of the best feelings because I was rehearsing with a little quiet piano version. I did English Studies and Performing Arts before in University so there is a genuine passion and interest and it is something that I have always thought about doing but sometimes your life goes in a different direction. The best thing that I did was I just rehearsed at home all the time.

But my phone is on loud, that is all I have to say! I don't know if it is a 'Don't call us, we will call you' situation. And everyone behind me is also a deserving winner and you guys have made it special."

Good Morning Britain's Alex Beresford wins All-Star Musicals after stunning Hamilton performance: 'It feels amazing'

Speaking to Metro.co.uk and other press before the episode aired, he said: ‘There’s a unique quality in him that already made him so engaging on Good Morning Britain, and that’s that intangible star quality. The stars stepped out of their comfort zone for the ITV series, and belted out some of the most famous tracks from beloved musicals on stage. The Good Morning Britain star impressed the audience, the judging panel and viewers watching on from home with an epic performance of My Shot from Hamilton.

The Good Morning Britain weather presenter, 41, also overcame competition from Michaela Strachan, Lisa George, Colin Salmon and Danny Care.

He said it was because he was going to be presenting All Star Musicals. He also said the behaviour was "high-spirited" and not sexual in nature. He has been accused of exposing himself to his former colleagues while working for the BBC on Doctor Who and the spin-off Torchwood.
