The series sees contestants compete against each other in challenges such as writing songs, performing for celebrity guests and learning choreography. The winner of each series is given the chance to perform at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend,[4] and as of 2020, the five winners are Amaria Braithwaite, Jorja Douglas, Rio Donkin, Lauren Mia Jones and Georgie Mills.

Format

Eight young singers take part in the singing talent competition. In each episode, three contestants are chosen to compete in a sing-off, whilst their mothers vote for who they want to win.[2] Each week, the contestants learn about an aspect in the music industry, while their mothers compete for their child's place in the sing-off.[2] The performer with the most sing-off wins automatically reaches the final, and three more are voted for by the public, where they compete for the chance to perform at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend.[2]
