Let It Shine is a British reality television music competition to find young men to star in The Band, a new stage musical featuring the songs of Take That.[2] It aired in January and February 2017 on BBC One.[3] In 2018, the BBC announced that Let It Shine has been cancelled after one series.
After the episode, a clip was made available on BBC iPlayer which revealed the new names of the bands. Group 1 was named Five to Five, Group 2 was named Iron Sun, Group 3 was named Neon Panda, Group 4 was named Drive and Group 5 was named Nightfall.
Originally Callum Howells & Harry Neale were part of Group 4 but decided to withdraw from the competition, they were replaced by reserves Keith Branic & Jordan Charles.
Mark Angels, Jazzie Mattis, Matt Thorpe, Jonnie Halliwell & Conor McLoughlin were saved by the judges and through to Semi-final. As Drive had 3 of the 5 members saved and Neon Panda only had 2 of the 5 the saved artist would continue as Drive.
Anthony Sahota, Craig Webb, Jamie Corner, Josh Bailey & Ryan Butterworth were not saved and therefore were eliminated from the competition.
Winning group: Five to Five (Yazdan Qafouri, Curtis T Johns, Nick Carsberg, Sario Solomon, AJ Bentley)
