Megan McKenna, Ricki Lake and Kevin McHale among contestants on The X Factor: Celebrity

The line-up has been confirmed for The X Factor: Celebrity.

The upcoming spin-off series begins next month and will feature 15 celebrity acts, ranging from talk show hosts, broadcast journalists, social media vloggers, musical theatre stars and reality TV favourites.

Despite the show billing the famous faces as not being 'known for singing', a chunk of the contestants have sang on stage, in movies or have even released albums.

The Only Way Is Essex's Megan McKenna is one of the cast with a musical history. Megan was at the center of ITV2 show There's Something About Megan chronicling her pursuit into country music. She subsequently released her debut album Story Of Me which peaked at Number 6 on the UK's Official Country Albums Chart.
