Mel B has signed up to host the UK version of  Lip Sync Battle .

The hit American show sees various celebrities going head to head and putting their all into performances of their favourite songs, and now Channel 5 has signed up to broadcast a UK series next year.

But while the USA has LL Cool J as their host, Mel B will be stepping in to present the show on this side of the pond.

"Who doesn't love letting out their inner diva?" the Spice Girl and former X Factor judge said. "The US version has me in fits of laughter and I can't wait to see the UK show contestants give it their all. I'll be sure to keep everyone in line!"

Channel 5's entertainment boss Steve Regan added: "When looking for top talent, you don't get much bigger than Mel B.

"Mel has attitude, experience and unmistakable swagger, all vital ingredients for this high-energy show.

"She is the perfect fit and we couldn't be happier to have her on board. If you thought the US series got gutsy, watch out world - the Brits are coming."

But Mel won't be alone, as she'll be joined by a co-presenter - we'll find out who that is in the coming weeks.

We don't know which celebs will be taking part yet either - though Channel 5 boss Ben Frow has previously promised us that some big names will be involved.

Lip Sync Battle UK will launch on Channel 5 in 2016.
