Other films on the list include Star Wars, Dreamgirls and The Simpsons Movie, with Max George set to undergo quite the transformation to become Homer Simpson.

He and Dianne Buswell are performing one of two Couple’s Choice routines this week, while Caroline Quentin will also be delivering a musical theatre routine to Everything’s Coming Up Roses from Gypsy.
