Denise Lewis To Impersonate Beyonce On TV Show – the former Olympic gold medal winning heptathlete is to impersonate her singing hero Beyonce on this Saturday’s Your Face Looks Familiar on ITV.
The 40-year old athlete has already proved she is game for most things after appearing on the show as Tina Turner, Nicki MInaj and most strangely as Lenny Kravitz.
She has yet to win top place in the new show but the very competitive Denise will be hoping that he performance as Beyonce singing Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) will propel her to the top of the leaderboard. Anyone who saw her compete on Strictly Come Dancing will not need convincing that she is a lady who enters things to win. Denise made it to the final of Strictly with pro partner Ian Waite only to lose out on winning the glitterball trophy to actress Jill Halfpenny.
The new ITV show, which is presented by Alesha Dixon and Paddy McGuinness, has received some very mixed reviews so far with many commenting that the acts concentrate more on the look of the star they are impersonating than on getting the sound right.
Your Face Looks Familiar is based on a successful Spanish tv series of the same name which first aired in 2011. Like every tv talent/reality show it has a panel of judges, in this case consisting of regulars Julian Clary and Emma Bunton plus an additional guest judge each week with this extra role being filled so far by the likes of Peter Andre, Donny Osmond, Cilla Black and Denise Van Outen.
Apart from Denise Lewis the other contestants on this first UK series are Cheryl Fergison, Alexander Armstrong, Bobby Davro, Matt Johnson and Natalie Anderson.
Although we are sure Denise will do a good job of nailing the trademark Beyonce dance moves perhaps the vocals might prove more of a challenge for her.
If you want to see how Denise and the rest of her celebrity competitors get on this week tune into ITV1 on Saturday night at 7.30 pm.
