Clara said Sun: ‘I’m delighted to be part of something new on ITV with Studio Sessions, as I firmly believe that musical performance on television remains a great pleasure for artists and their fans to enjoy.

“As a host and consulting producer, I’m looking forward to having strong conversations with our guests, so the audience can learn something new about them and, of course, see them celebrate their new and most beloved songs.”

The news comes after it was reported that another popular ITV music show could return.

It was recently claimed that ITV’s Popstars could return to screens after more than two decades.

Speculation has grown that the broadcaster could relaunch the show after having success with the returns of Big Brother and Dancing On Ice.

A casting call has been called for people between 18 and 23 years old who think they could be part of the “next generation of superstars who will form a new five-piece boy band.”

‘First ITV got Big Brother back, then the BBC got Survivor back. “Now this could form the holy trinity of big shows from two decades ago,” a source said. Sun.

‘There has been a boom in the popularity of shows from that era among millennials. But what they want is to return to the origins of these shows.

Series winners Danny Foster, Myleene Klass, Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw and Noel Sullivan formed the group Hear’Say.

The show then showed the group recording and promoting their first single, documenting their first forays into the music industry.

Hear’Say sold three million records worldwide and had two number one singles in the UK before disbanding eighteen months after forming.

A year later, Popstars: The Rivals, hosted by Davina McCall, was released.

The show included audience polls and live sing-alongs and saw Girls Aloud propelled to fame.
