ROMAN Kemp’s popular ITV show appears to have been axed after two years on air.

Competing in groups, faces from Love Island, EastEnders, Coronation Street and The Chase were among the stars who sang their hearts out all in the name of charity.
Airing each Christmas, fans relished seeing unlikely household names including Kate Garraway and Denise Welch belt out hits in a bid to win the show.
However, the programme won’t be returning this year according to TVZone.
The publication reports that bosses have decided to shelve the show and that it won’t be returning this festive season.
Although it won’t be back this year, reports indicate that ITV have left the door open to potentially revive the format in the future.
Roman hosted the show on Christmas Eve for two years running with a line-up of judges from Britain’s biggest talent shows.
The Voice UK’s Will.i.am, Britain’s Got Talent star Alesha Dixon, Starstruck judges Adam Lambert and Jason Manford and The Masked Singer’s Jonathan Ross were among the starry-eyed panel casting judgement over the famous faces on the programme.
In 2022, the Loose Women ladies won the contest after an emotional performance on the programme led by Brenda Edwards.
Alongside Coleen Nolan, Denise Welch, Kelle Bryan, Judi Love and Linda Robson, Brenda lifted the crown in a triumphant return to TV following the death of her son Jamal earlier in the year.
The group opted to sing Bridge Over Troubled Water with Brenda saying at the time: “We all kind of got together you know, we had a couple of options. They gave us a couple of options.
“We all decided that [Bridge Over Troubled Water] was a really nice song.
“And I love that song because it’s a song that my family all sing, I say at funerals or, you know, at church and everything, so it’s very poignant.
“We picked the song and I was fine with it and then singing it, the words, kind of, yeah, they got me very emotional. It got all of us very emotional.
“We were a blubbering mess, if I can just say.”
