Let me entertain two - The Sun 15/10/2009

The singer has agreed to be star turn on the one-off variety show which the Geordie duo have developed.

It is an entertainment hook-up made in heaven.

Ant and Dec's programme will be just like comedy favourites MORECAMBE and WISE's famous show, which was the absolute must-see of Christmas telly for years.

The lads will be laying on an old-school entertainment feast recorded in front of a live studio audience.

There will be a mixture of sketches, performances, guests and interviews.

Robbie has agreed to sing live and he will get involved in comedy skits with the pair.

The big finale will be Robbie belting out a big number with Ant and Dec joining in - just like Eric and Ernie used to do.

A source said: "Ant and Dec have been given the green light to make a Christmas special which will be ITV1's big family entertainment show this Christmas.

"They came up with the concept and pitched it to ITV. Their own company, Gallowgate, will make it. Robbie is really excited to be on board.

"They have already been discussing ideas together.

"It is nothing to do with Saturday Night Takeaway, Ant and Dec's previous show.

"This is a brand new show. They will be filming it when they get back from the Australian jungle in December after presenting the next series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here."
