Jane’s glittery stage is pretty jam-packed this week as she invites more celebrity mates to join her for some dazzling tunes.

He may have blazed a Hollyoaks trail, but former Blue member Duncan James goes back to his music roots when he drops by for a chat and a duet.

Meanwhile, former EastEnders actress-turned-singer Michelle Gayle will also be showing off some impressive vocal skills, as will talented musical theatre group and BGT winners Collabro.

As usual, Jane herself will be taking to the mic to sing a song or two as well as surprising some more unsuspecting members of the public.

If this unashamedly upbeat spectacular doesn’t get you in the mood for the weekend, nothing will!
