Ronan Keating has been in Australia filming the new singing show, All Together Now.
Acting as captain, Ronan will be joined by 99 people from the entertainment industry, in the largest judging panel ever seen on Australian TV. The contestants will try their hand at singing in front of the 100 and the more people that stand up, the higher the score.
If they manage to make it through to the grand final, the contestants will have the chance to battle it out for $100,000.
“It’s a brand-new format entertainment show. There’s no back story, there’s no big drama, they just come out and sing,” he explains. “A show like this is refreshing, it’s just pure entertainment.”

And, the judge loved working alongside host, Julia Zemiro.
“She’s brilliant and hilarious, we have so much fun working together,” he shares.
Check out the judges to watch:
Lucy Holmes

You won’t be able to get this Kylie Minogue impersonator out of your head! Lucy is one of the best Kylie impersonators in the industry and has even been given the thumbs up by the pop princess herself. When she isn’t performing around the globe, Lucy hosts breakfast radio in Melbourne. “I will bring the fun, energy and positivity that this show is all about,” she says.
Mark Gable

Rock Legend Mark is best known for fronting The Choirboys, which formed in 1979. They released several hits including “Run to Paradise” and “Boys Will Be Boys” and continue to tour to this day. Mark has also carved out a career in radio, hosting shows on 2GO and Vega. When it comes to his judging style, Mark says he will be “ironic, wise and crazy”.
Jason Jackson

Jason was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer at 18 months old and spent the next seven years in hospital. It was during this time he developed a love of Michael Jackson’s music. Performing as his hero is a dream come true for Jason and he even smashed the Guinness World Record for the fastest 100-metre moonwalk in 2010. He claims that he will stand out from the 100 because he is an extrovert and will be, “an outspoken judge that will speak from the heart”.
Lara Mulcahy

The award-winning actress and entertainer is well known for her larger than life personality. She shot to stardom after starring as Rosie in the original Australian cast of Mamma Mia, alongside her pal Rhonda Burchmore.
While we don’t know who she will stand up for, Laura’s favourite singers are, “Bette Midler for her talent, humour and staying power. And Barbra Streisand. Legend!”
