In a first for the channel, BBC1's set to host a brand new Simon Cowell-produced talent show next spring.

The Greatest Dancer, a Syco Entertainment project, will air on Saturday nights from early 2019 and run for eight weeks.

Oh, and former X Factor judge Cheryl Tweedy's involved in the whole thing. Hoorah.

According to The Sun, Cheryl filmed a pilot for The Greatest Dancer last month; with her acting as a 'dance captain' as Alesha Dixon and Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo hosted.

Speaking about the show, BBC entertainment commissioning controller Kate Phillips said: "I can’t wait to work with Syco and Thames to uncover talent and let our audience critique and celebrate the nation’s unsung dance heroes."

Glee's Matthew Morrison and professional Strictly Come Dancing-type Oti Mabuse also join the coaching panel with the BBC claiming it'll incorporate all genres of dance; from ballet to jazz and hip-hop to Bollywood.
