Also joining Robert on the show are two former Strictly contestants — legal eagle Robert Rinder, 42, and This Morning medical expert Dr Ranj Singh, 41.
The show sees celebrities embark on a musical theatre masterclass before putting on a one night-only performance.
John Barrowman, 53, is returning to host, having fronted the last series in 2019.
