Wonder why Simon's so happy?
Britain’s Got Talent – ITV1
Stars: TBC
What can we expect? This is the brainchild of a certain ubiquitous Mr Cowell who’s opening the doors to all manner of talent. Dancing, singing, miming – if they’ve got it, they’ll come and flaunt it, whatever their age. As will many who don’t have it but firmly believe they do. There’ll be plenty of moments to make you cringe or go all gooey.America’s Next Top Model – LivingTV
Stars: Tyra Banks plus more celeb judges tbc
What can we expect? Just as it says on the tin, fashion icon, Tyra Banks, once again leads the hunt for the US of A’s next clothes hanger. Cue catfights, tears and tantrums as the girls take to the catwalk and face the wrath of the judges. Prepare for some bitching.Grease – TV1
Stars:TBC
What can we expect?The runaway success that was ‘How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?’ means we can expect a slew of reality shows which audition wannabe West End stars. Travolta and Newton-John hopefuls are put through their paces, in another Simon Cowell project, for a future production of Grease under the judges’ watchful, critical eye.Castaway – BBC ONE
Stars: TBC
What can we expect? Several years after the first series finished, the second one brings us another bunch of castaways, who are taken to a far-flung location to live together for a few months. And unlike last time, this lot have to deal with the glare of cameras beaming live footage into our living rooms. So they can’t ask the crew to edit out that bit of them picking their noses...E4’s School of Performing Arts – E4 – August
Stars: TBC
What can we expect? It’s a summer school which might prove to be the fast track to fame, but not necessarily the easiest. They’ll scour the land for the best and most determined young singers, dancers, or actors, and put them on an intensive course. They’ll train and live together and even take part-time work to see them through. Find out who’s up for being put through the wringer!
