GUILTY PLEASURES

ITV1.

Guilty Pleasures is a brand new Saturday night entertainment
show for ITV1. Get ready to see some of the nation’s favourite
chart stars like you’ve never seen them before!

Kelly Osbourne, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, The Feeling and Supergrass’s Gaz and Danny are among the top acts performing their very own Guilty Pleasures in a celebration of music that it’s (ever so slightly) shameful to love!

This is a celebration of the music the nation secretly loves. Imagine some of the greatest pop songs ever recaptured by today’s biggest stars. The stars will be belting out the tunes that Britain sings into its collective hairbrush and bellows in the shower. And we all know the words to these classic tunes.

Guilty Pleasures is all about the overlooked; the records that the custodians of taste have denounced as plain cheesy. But these songs are all much-played favourites. Uncool is the new cool – and it’s coming to a Saturday night near you, so let down your hair and sing along
