Tribute bands to compete in BBC reality show

Tribute bands to compete in BBC reality show

Pop tribute acts are reportedly set to battle it out in a new reality TV show for the BBC.

Production company Endemol, who make Big Brother, are creating the new show, called The One And Only for a primetime Saturday night slot.

A source told The Sun: "The aim is to find Britain's best tribute act. There are hundreds of people out there who think they've got what it takes - and some of them are extremely good.

"You see Robbie Williams and Elvis lookalikes everywhere. This show will give them a platform to showcase their acts."

All the acts will live together in a house, like in The X Factor or Fame Academy.

To increase competition, it has also been rumoured that the impressionists will be asked to perform as a variety of different artists.

TV favourite Graham Norton is expected to host the show.
