Celebrity Duets

Celebrity Duets is an American reality television show, of the progressive game-show type, which combined celebrities of different backgrounds with professional singers in a weekly elimination competition.

But the BBC bought the format before Simon Cowell got to produce it on ITV.

It then moved to its normal Thursday timeslot the following week, and stayed there until its season finale on September 29, 2006.

Simon Cowell of American Idol and The X Factor fame created the program, and Wayne Brady of Whose Line Is It Anyway?

The judges were renowned composer and producer David Foster, rock and roll pioneer Little Richard, and singer Marie Osmond.
