We never had Postman Pat down as a singer but the TV character sure knows how to belt out a tune - as a new clip fom 'Postman Pat: The Movie' proves.

Pat can be seen auditioning on an 'X Factor'-style show in the clip, which feature a certain Simon Cowbell (see what they did there?) on the judging panel.

And is it just us, but doesn't Pat's voice sound remarkably like Ronan Keating (ahem)?

The first big screen outing for Postman Pat sees the popular children's character going about his duties delivering letters in the fictional town of Greendale until one day he decides to audition for the TV talent show, 'You're The One'.

But after making it through to the live finals, Pat is unable to carry out his postal rounds and is replaced by a number of Patbot 3000 robots who turn out to be at the centre of an evil plot to take over the world, which Pat must now stop.

All in a day's work, eh?

The film features the vocal talents of former 'Doctor Who' star David Tennant as well as 'Harry Potter' actor Rupert Grint and Jim Broadbent.

'Postman Pat: The Movie' comes to cinemas on 23 May.

If Ke$ha was stuck in an RV with a sister who talked to animals and a brother who acted like a wild animal, we bet she would react just the way Debbie Thornberry did: lots of eye-rolling. The two blondes share a hairstyle and a party-girl attitude. (credit:Getty/Nickelodeon)

Emma Stone has mastered the teen movie (Superbad), the action movie (The Amazing Spider-Man), the period piece (The Help), and more. Most young actresses would call that impossible, but not Emma -- which is why Kim Possible is her cartoon alter ego. (credit:Alamy/Disney Channel)
