How does All Together Now work ?
All Together Now, hosted by Rob Beckett, is a singing contest with a twist.
A range of singers take to the stage to perform in front of The 100 - a unique panel of musical experts and performers from all over the UK.
If any of The 100 like what they hear, they can stand up and join in.
The greater the number that stand up and sing along, the higher the contestant’s score.
Geri Horner heads up The 100.
The Spice Girl will be joining them to offer her expert advice as a performer, provide support and encouragement to the contestants, and find out exactly what will make The 100 stand up and join in with her…or not.

What's Geri Horner's background?
You'd be hard to find anyone who didn't known Geri - AKA Ginger Spice - but did you know she grew up in North Watford and worked as a nightclub dancer in Majorca before finding international fame.
Geri - formally Geri Halliwell - skyrocketed to superstardom in 1996 as part of the Spice Girls, a five-piece girl band phenomenon consisting of Geri, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm.
The band topped the charts with hits like Wannabe, Stop and Spice Up Your Life.
Who is Geri's All Together co-host Rob Beckett?
Essex boy Rob, who's been dubbed the "Mouth of the South", was born on January 2, 1986.
Rob started doing stand-up comedy in 2009 and won four competitions in his first year.
In 2011, Rob made a guest appearance in Jack Whitehall's Fresh Meat, playing Mike.
The dad-of-one also co-hosted I'm a Celebrity's spin-off show between 2012 and 2014, alongside Laura Whitmore and Joe Swash.
Rob writes and narrates the commentary for E4's Celebs Go Dating and is a team captain on 8 out of 10 Cats.
Rob also once presented the Rock'N'Roll Football Sunday show on Absolute Radio.
Who are the judges?
The 100 act as the judges of All Together Now and decide who will go through to the next round.
If they like a contestant's performance they press and buzzer and singalong.
Geri is the captain of the 100, but her vote counts as much as any other member's.
Who are the 100?
The 100 are a panel of music experts from across the UK.
More established names in the group include Brit School teacher Georg Tormann, Madonna supporting singer Celestina and Youtuber Talia.
But some of them aren't well known and include a Tina Turner impersonator, former Britain’s Got Talent contestants and Youtube’s The Singing Dentist.
