Plans for a celebrity version of Pop Idol are underway, according to The Sun today.
Simon Cowell confirmed to the newspaper that he would be judging on the special, due to air next May after he finishes working on American Idol 3.
"ITV have spoken about doing this for ages. We should have done it a year ago but we didn’t have time," said Cowell.
Among those he wants to appear are Will Mellor, winner of last year's Celebrity Fame Academy, Amanda Holden and Jonathan Wilkes. Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell has been banned from the shortlist.
“We have banned Geri," Cowell added. "We’ve got enough people who can actually sing for the show.???
It is unknown whether Ant and Dec would be available to host the show; as well as a third series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, the duo will also be fronting a new series of Saturday Night Takeaway and a possible US version.
