Skinner to host impressions show

Frank Skinner is to host a new TV show featuring amateur impersonations.

The show is destined for a prime-time slot on ITV1.

And producers are inviting people to send in their impersonations - either of famous people or just a friend or relative.

They said: "We want to hear from anyone who can do an impression and wants to be on TV. We're not looking for professionals - just everyday people who do a good impression.

"Your impression can be of someone famous, or of someone you know personally such as a work colleague or family member. All ages are welcome to enter."

Would-be Rory Bremners should ring 09015 666 222 and be ready to perform their impression on the phone. The hotline costs 60p a minute.
