A celebrity tribute to Stephen Gately is being planned by ITV with a reported budget of £400,000.

Boyzone will select the stars who will appear on the televised special for their late bandmate and determine what songs they sing, according to The Sun.

A source said: "Everyone is keen for it to be exactly as Stephen would have wanted, so Ronan [Keating] and the rest of the band are having a major input.

"They'll be deciding which celebs are invited to make up the crowd and who'll be singing what. Nothing can ever bring Stephen back but everyone hopes the programme will show what an incredible person he was."

Gately died from heart failure in October at the age of 33 while on holiday in Majorca.
