This year's show will once again see Diversity star and Dancing On Ice judge Ashley Banjo teach the celebrities their routine. Popular presenter Alexander Armstrong will also return as a co-host alongside Ashley for the big night.

Speaking about the upcoming show, Ashley said, "After the amazing time we had last year, I can’t wait to get the chance to teach the 2018 intake how to forget their inhibitions and put on an unforgettable show to raise awareness for this incredibly important issue that really can save lives.”

Alexander then added, "Last year’s show was a major success, particularly given it was unknown territory.

"But now we want to see if we can aim for an even better performance to grab people’s attention again for this cause. Hopefully, we’re in for even more fun as we take another bunch of blokes and turn them into showstoppers capable of turning the audience into a frenzy."

The show, which will air on ITV on Wednesday 28th March and Thursday 29th March, will show the celebrity cast perform a routine similar to the one made famous on hit 1997 film The Full Monty.

The original movie followed six men from Sheffield who transformed themselves into male dancers to raise some cash after they were left unemployed. With a cast including Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy, William Snape, Steve Huison, Tom Wilkinson, Paul Barber and Hugo Speer, the movie made over £200 million in ticket sales alone.

You can watch the likes of Jeff Brazier, Coleen Nolan, John Hartson, Megan McKenna and Helen Lederer perform on The Real Full Monty on ITV on Wednesday 28th March and Thursday 29th March.
