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.
The STAR STORIES team present their version of the SIMON COWELL PHENOMENON. Told in his own words.
SEE the amazing moment that Simon (Kevin Bishop) hired Louis Walsh. (Alex Woodhall) You won’t be just a yes man will you Louis? Yes “Good.” BE AMAZED at the creative brilliance of Simon. It was time for a new challenge. Making exactly the same show but for more money in a different country.
