Elton John is about to get a Star Stories makeover, according to the show’s star, Steve Edge.
Edge and co-star kevin Bishop have impersonated Take That and The Beckhams in previous series of the show.
“I’m sure we’re doing Elton John and David Furnish,” Edge told The Mirror. “We read a new Britpop sketch of Oasis and Blur going to see Blair, which sounds good. Jarvis Cocker is the narrator, like an Austin Powers figure.
“It’s a great job for summer – lots of funny wigs and silly voices.”
The new series is currently in production and due to hit our screens on Channel 4 this autumn.
Here’s your weekly spoiler! Don’t forget to tune into Star Stories tonight at 9.30pm on Channel 4.

‘Being Tom Cruise: How Scientology Is In No Way Mental’
The Star Stories team present their version of the Tom Cruise phenomenon, told through the eyes of his favourite religion: Scientology. See how Tom (Kevin Bishop) is introduced to Scientology after being hit on the head with a shovel by John Travolta (Steve Edge): “Ouch… wait a minute. Scientology. Of course, it all makes perfect sense now.” See the romantic moment when Tom first met Nicole Kidman (Dolly Wells): “Excuse me ma’am. Can I ask you a question?” “No worries.” “Good. Would you mind sitting down in order to make me seem taller?”
