Libera are a young male choir whose members are all aged between 10 to 13 years old. The boys were the winners of Show Three and will return to the stage this week on When Will I Be Famous to see if they can triumph once more!

Libera is made up of 13 young boys from a wide variety of backgrounds in South London. The boys don’t think of themselves as choirboys, more of an alternative boy band. The group’s three albums have topped both mainstream and classical charts in many countries. Libera have an enthusiastic fan base in many countries, particularly in the United States.

Hosted by Graham Norton, When Will I Be Famous? is an exciting new live show for all the family showcasing the very best variety acts from the UK and around the world. Each week, different acts put their skills to the vote with the winner taking home a cash prize of £10,000.

Illusionists, contortionists, dancers, cabaret artists and comedy acts all compete in a series of head-to-head challenges. A panel of three celebrity judges pass comment on the acts which range from seasoned variety professionals to complete novices and cast their vote. A panel of 101 pre-registered viewers can then vote from home and make the casting decision as to which acts go through to the live final.

In the second show of the evening the finalists compete with each other with the overall winner being decided on by an open public phone vote, with all profits going to Comic Relief.

Many of the acts who don’t make it through the audition process ranging from the breathtaking to the bizarre also feature as part of the programme in Graham’s Sideshow.

Executive Producer Phil Parsons says: “When Will I Be Famous? will provide a shot of glamour and excitement. The production team has been scouring the globe for the world’s best variety acts throughout the autumn and, as well providing a platform for established acts to reach a wider audience, we have also unearthed some exciting, unsigned and unseen talent for BBC viewers.”
