ESTHER Rantzen dressed up as Edith Piaf and singing?

It's a sight that has already startled viewers of ITV's Stars in their Eyes, but that show was pre-recorded.

Now, for the first time, Esther will be reprising her act live on stage in aid of a Blackpool charity.

The former That's Life presenter will join other music celebrities, such as Bucks Fizz, Guys and Dolls and Brotherhood of Man at the Never Again Royale Variety Show - a fundraising night to support Donna's Dream House.

What's more, the red carpet is being rolled out for certain prestigious guests who will be seated in the Royal Box.

Donna's Dream House is a converted Blackpool hotel that provides holidays for terminally ill children.

If you would like a ticket to the event, at the Blackpool Grand Theatre on April 22, call (01253) 290190.
