What happens

Your Face Sounds Familiar is a British talent show based on the Spanish series of the same name (a more formal translation would be "Your Face Looks Familiar" however the chosen title achieved a unique and relevant play on words). The show began on 29 June 2013 on ITV and ended on 3 August 2013. The show was co-presented by Alesha Dixon and Paddy McGuinness, whilst the judging panel consisted of Emma Bunton, Julian Clary, and a different guest judge in each episode. Guest judges included Cilla Black, Donny Osmond, Denise van Outen, Kian Egan, and Peter Andre. The show involved six celebrities (actors, television personalities and sportsmen) portraying various iconic singers each week to win £10,000 for their chosen charity. The winner of the series was actress Natalie Anderson; she received the £50,000 grand prize for her charity. On 3 August 2013, Anderson was announced as the series winner. She also won Week 2, 3 and 5 of the competition (as Britney Spears, Kate Bush, and Bonnie Tyler, respectively) collecting £10,000 for each of those weeks. In total, she won £80,000 for her chosen charity over the six weeks. The other weekly winners were Cheryl Fergison, who won the first week as Dusty Springfield and Matt Johnson, winner of the fourth week as Freddie Mercury. Both received £10,000 for their charities. In November 2014, McGuinness revealed that the show would not return for a second series as ITV had instead opted to revive Stars in Their Eyes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
