A man from Devon is set to appear on an ITV show this weekend which sees tone deaf contestants transformed into singing professionals.

Matt Vaughan from Torquay will appear on the show which is called Change Your Tune on Sunday.

The show has been created by Twofour who also produced Davina McCall's This Time Next Year.

Change Your Tune challenges five terrible singers to improve their voices before performing in front of a live studio audience. The time lapse format of the show means viewers will get to see the transformations from awful singer to polished performer in an instant.

The studio audience will score each performance and the level of improvement ultimately deciding who has "Changed Their Tune" the most.

Each week the winning contestant will walk away with £10,000.

Matt, who’s family live in Teignmouth, is known locally as a former presenter on Devon’s old radio station Gemini FM.

Now he is a blogger and vlogger for The Diet Journey with over 14,000 followers, which details his challenge to lose weight. He calls it “One Man’s journey to fight the flab”. Matt’s YouTube channel has easy diet cooking recipes which sees him, at times, use only 3 cooking utensils and he even cuts chicken with scissors to save washing up.

Change Your Tune is hosted by Baz Ashmawy, mostly known by his former Sky show 50 ways to kill your Mammy.

Matt said “I have always wanted to be able to sing, but have never found the time, with having a 20 month old, working full time and vlogging takes up majority of my waking hours, so this was the perfect opportunity to have coaching from some of the industry’s best singing teachers to see if they could change my speak singing voice into something musical in which people could actually tell what I am trying to sing. Since somehow finding the time to travel to London for singing lessons, I have now relocated this to going to the gym to help my fitness ambitions.”

Baz said “I'm so excited to be looking for, not the very best singers in the country, but the very worst.”
