AFTER Twist and Pulse and Ashley and Pudsey, Britain’s Got Talent is set for its greatest double-act yet.
Sheridan Smith and Jason Donovan have been lined up to perform at the live semi-finals.
They will sing a medley of hits from musical Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, in which the pair are starring when it returns to London’s West End this summer.
An insider said: “It will be the first time Sheridan has performed songs from the musical publicly, so it’s a coup for ITV. Bosses expect decent ratings.” The talent show’s live semi-finals begin on Monday and run through to next Friday, with ten acts making it through to the final next Sunday.
It is yet to be confirmed which night Jason and Sheridan will perform.
Sheridan’s role in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical was announced in March.
Talking about the stage show, she said: “I wore a purple T-shirt in the Joseph choir at primary school . . . and with my senior school, I went to the London Palladium and watched it. Amazing memories.”
Joseph starts an 11-week run at the Palladium on June 27.
BGT is the ideal curtain-raiser.
