Contestants will require tactics as well as singing talent as they battle it out against one another in a bid to make it to the grand final and win 25,000

RT has today announced that the brand-new Saturday night singing game show, Last Singer Standing, will start on Saturday, October 23rd on RT One and run for eight weeks, reaching a nail-biting finale in December.

A game show for all of the family to enjoy, it requires contestants to have tactics as well as talent, as singers face-off against one another in a test of singing ability, and nerve. Produced for RT by ShinAwiL, the series will air on Saturday evenings, with one singer from each show making it through to the final.

Presented by Nicky Byrne, Last Singer Standing sees pop royalty Nadine Coyle, Joey Fatone, and Samantha Mumba offer their guidance and industry experience to the contestants from around Ireland as they take to the stage to perform.

Contestants will do battle both musically and mentally as they endeavour to impress the popstar panel, the studio audience, and each other in order to earn that coveted place in the grand final.

Host Nicky Byrne said: This show will have you on the edge of your seat it's fast-paced, exciting, and full of jeopardy. Our singers face challenges like never before in their bid to land the top prize. The superstar pop panel of Nadine, Joey, and Samantha are talented, quick-witted, and full of personality. It's a fresh, new show and I think viewers will take it to their hearts on Saturday nights.

Nadine Coyle said: I loved the idea with this show of how quickly the participants might have to adapt to a song they are not familiar with in the original key in a high-pressured situation it's exciting to watch. I'm just so impressed by the singing talent that there is on offer in Ireland, and I love that people are getting a chance to show that off on Last Singer Standing.

Samantha Mumba said: Last Singer Standing is just such a refreshing and fun concept and spin on a traditional type of talent show, and that's made me want to get involved. It's always a treat getting to come home for work as it ties in with getting to see family and friends as well. Not getting home much at all over the past few years has made this even more special.

Joey Fatone said: Last Singer Standing is a fun singing competition with a game show element to it and requires clever use of strategy from the contestants. Contestants have to pick from categories, and that narrows things down and gives singers fewer songs to choose from it's going to be really exciting for people at home to watch.
