Ross launches a new run of his chatshow, joined by a sofa full of famous faces, including Captain Marvel co-stars Brie Larson and Samuel L Jackson alongside The Voice UK coaches Jennifer Hudson and Will.i.am, plus comedian and Strictly black sheep Seann Walsh. Music is from Bryan Adams.

If you made a movie of Jennifer Hudson's life, critics would say it was too far-fetched to be believable.

We first spotted Jennifer in 2004, getting grief from Simon Cowell about her dress sense on season three of American Idol.

She was eliminated in seventh place in the controversial "Battle Of The Divas".

Undeterred, she went on to become the first reality show contestant to win an Oscar for her show-stopping performance in Dreamgirls and she's recently played Winnie Mandela in a new bio-pic.

But in a tragic flipside to this meteoric success, in 2008 her mother, brother and nephew were all shot dead.

Her sister's estranged husband, William Balfour, is still awaiting trial for their murders. So Graham Norton certainly won't be short of things to chat to Jennifer about on the show tonight.

Alternatively, he could just ask her how she's just lost 80lb with the help of slimming giants WeightWatchers.

Jennifer will also perform the title track from her new album I Remember Me, and she'll be joined on the Norton sofa by singer kd lang as well as musical comedian Bill Bailey.
