Channel Seven’s star singing Survivor, It Takes Two, has always been a bit of a guilty pleasure in my house. So I was thrilled to read it’s coming back for its third season in a few weeks time.
For those of you who don’t know, It Takes Two pairs musical mentors with non-singing celebrities. Like Dancing with the Stars, the mentors and students perform each week in a selected genre.
As you can imagine considering this is the third time around, the celebrities are a bit light on this year. For starters, we’ve got Candice Falzon, the ironwoman more famous for getting raunchy with Sonny Bill Williams, crusty newsreader John Mangos, and ex-model Chloe Maxwell. They’ve even recruited Mark Wilson from Dancing with the Stars. I suppose he needs something to do in the off-season.
The celebrity mentors are a little more interesting though. Ricki-Lee Coulter has another chance to outshine her former colleagues, stepping into the role vacated by Young Diva Paulini. It looks like Ian Moss got a taste for mentoring during his short stint on Australian Idol last year. He’ll take over from Screaming Jets’ frontman Dave Gleeson as the show’s resident rock god. And Adam Harvey is the show’s new country crooner, replacing Troy Cassar-Daley.
