Grease Is the Word is the UK version of Grease: You're the One that I Want!. It was announced on December 20, 2006 by ITV,[1][2] to air in Spring/Summer 2007. The show will be produced by Syco TV (the production company of Simon Cowell). The judges will be David Ian (the producer of the stage show and the 2007 Broadway revival), David Gest, 80s Star Sinitta and American Dance Icon Brian Friedman. The host will be Zoë Ball. Unlike the NBC series, the ITV programme will not be based (at least directly) on the How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? format, which is owned by the BBC.
Cat Deeley was originally scheduled to present the show, but had to pull out at the last minute due scheduling difficulties with her American shows. Simon Cowell was also supposed to be a judge but could not as it falls the same time as American Idol. He will still however be an executive producer.
Grease Is the Word every Saturday night on ITV1.
Holly Willoughby will present Greased Lightnin' on ITV2, with extra unseen auditions, behind the scenes gossip and exclusive interviews with the judges.
On Saturday 7 April 2007 the first day of the shows airing, The Sun newspaper revealed that 1990's popstar Kavana had reached the live final stage.[3]
[edit] Trivia
- The show's title takes its name from the 1978 movie's tagline.
