Shane Richie is to present RDF's Don't Forget The Lyrics for Sky One.
The series, which has found success in the US where it airs on Fox, will begin its first UK run in late March.
Richie said: "I managed to see the show when I was in the US with my family over the summer and was immediately addicted. It’s a fantastic format, so I was really excited to be able to bring the show to a UK audience."
Sky commissioning editor Steve Jones added: "Shane's a born entertainer and the ideal presenter for this show – his enthusiasm and passion for music, combined with his rapport with people made him the natural – and only - choice."
