Coronation Street fans are set to see Simon Gregson as they've never seen him before. The actor is, of course, best known for playing Steve McDonald in the ITV soap but he'll be swapping the cobbles for the stage as part of Lorraine Kelly's new ITV show.
Simon will reunite with his I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here campmate and former EastEnders actor Adam Woodyatt and Love Islander Chris Hughes who are among the stars who will undergo “the ultimate drag makeover” for a new competition.
TV fitness instructor Mr Motivator, Union J singer George Shelley and England rugby player Joe Marler will also compete in the one-off special, Queens For The Night.
ITV presenter Lorraine will serve as host while the judging panel will feature Melanie C of the Spice Girls, comedian Rob Beckett, Australian drag artist Courtney Act and West End star Layton Williams.
