Katherine Ryan is to be one of the regular panellists on new music game show Bring The Noise.
The Voice's Ricky Wilson will be host, with Nicole Scherzinger and Tinie Tempahas as team captains. The show will also feature live musical performances alongside celebrity guests and comedians, and transmits in the autumn.
Rounds will include spoof video parodies and mash-ups and each show will also see the teams compete in a musical performance battle.
I’m not sure why I’m writing this as I know I’m going to get some stick for it from people who will say I did not delve deeply enough into the real alt-com Fringe, but I’ve just totted up my Fringe 2015 tickets.
