Jossa is seen for the first time here in full costume as Elsa as she gives her interpretation of Frozen the Musical.

Show host John Barrowman said: "Jacqueline Jossa – the Queen of the jungle, let’s just say she becomes the queen of the night in her performance – she is regal and elegant and surprises everybody because who knew she could sing?"

Hamilton star Trevor Dion Nicholas said of Beresford's performance: "The song he has picked is a beast. It’s a lot of words, it’s a lot to carry across and it’s an easy one to be overwhelmed by and so I think that this is another point of excitement for me to see that go down."

The celebrities will be mentored by big name musical stars Elaine Paige, Samantha Barks and Trevor Dion Nicholas, and will perform their showstopping numbers backed by a full West End orchestra with chorus and dancers.
