Evita and Chess actress Elaine told fans on Twitter the TV extravaganza is likely to air within the next couple of months.
“The news is out!” the 70-year-old announced.
“I’ll be mentoring all the acts and heading up the panel on @itv #AllStarMusicals this coming March!
“The programme is the perfect opportunity for me to channel two of my greatest passions – musical theatre and mentoring! Can’t wait!”
Since leaving the jungle, John has delighted This Morning fans – and proved his presenting mettle – by filling in for Phillip Schofield on This Morning.
The 2017 instalment of All Star Musicals saw the likes of Corrie’s Lucy Fallon, DJ Nicky Campell and Olympic Gold medallist Denise Lewis tackle some of musical theatre’s biggest numbers.
