When is Lip Sync Battle UK on?

The series sees celebrities pair up to do battle using lip sync as their weapon to out do each other.

Each episode is half an hour-long and the celebrities sing two songs each in the hope of winning the audience vote.

The new series starts on Friday January 6 at 10pm on Channel 5.

Who is appearing alongside Danny Dyer?

EastEnders star Danny Dyer is appearing in the first episode trying to out sync Strictly Come Dancing judge, Craig Revel Horwood.

Complete with costume, make up and dance moves - hard man Danny is transformed into Amy Winehouse and mimes to one of her biggest hits.

Danny's other lip sync song is Kasabian's Fire - but will his epic performances be enough to beat his competitor Craig Revel Horwood?

Craig will be pulling out all the stops himself with his performance as Britney Spears as he recreates her classic Toxic.

Danny however, thinks he's got the win in the bag, telling The Sun; "I was born to do this - to be a rock star.

"There's no way in the world I will lose to Craig f*****g Revel Horwood.

"Of course he's my enemy tonight and he always will be."

Upcoming contestants in future battles are Robert Webb vs Sally Phillips, Katie Price vs Ben Fogle and Jimmy Carr vs Alexander Armstrong.

Who are the hosts?

Lip Sync Battle UK is hosted by former Spice Girl Melanie Brown and rapper Professor Green.

They've bonded so well as co-presenters that they are planning on teaming up to collaborate musically.

Mel told The Sun exclusively; "We have spoken about working on some music together and it's something we are going to work out.

"It would be pretty cool.  I nag him all the time, I'm like, 'Let's do a song together". And he's like, 'All right'. I keep on getting at him."

Professor Green confirmed that the pair will be working together in the future, saying; "I'm gonna go and write something for us.  We're gonna find a day where we're not doing Lip Sync."
