Gogglebox's Steph And Dom As Cher And Meatloaf On 'Let's Sing And Dance' Was... Quite Something

They're not quite dead ringers for the real thing, let's just say that.

Steph and Dom from ‘Gogglebox’ stole the show as they underwent a rockstar makeover on the latest instalment of ‘Let’s Sing And Dance For Comic Relief’ on Saturday night (18 March).

The two came out in full 80s garb to channel Meatloaf and Cher for a duet of ‘Dead Ringer For Love’, complete with a ruffled shirt and waistcoat for Dom and one of the biggest wigs we’ve seen on Saturday night telly in a long while for Steph.

And while we can’t fault their enthusiasm, Dom’s vocal stylings could probably use a bit of fine-tuning, given that he essentially spoke his way through his whole verse.

Still, it’s all for charity, isn’t it?

Wow
BBC

While they were among the stand-outs of the night, it was the team from ‘The One Show’ who impressed the public the most, with their rendition of Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’, complete with an array of her most memorable looks.

They were voted through to next week’s live final by the public, while the judges chose to save Alison Hammond, following her energetic performance of Missy Elliott’s ‘Get Ur Freak On’.

Check out Alison’s performance below:

Incredible.

It seems we could be seeing a lot more of Steph and Dom on our screens later this year if rumours are to be believed.

While they’ve now said farewell to ‘Gogglebox’ for the time being, it has been claimed that ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ bosses are hoping they can bag the pair for this year’s series.

‘Let’s Sing And Dance For Comic Relief’ concludes on Saturday (25 March) on BBC One.

20 Celebrity 'Stars In Their Eyes' Contestants You'd Forgotten All About
Bradley Walsh as Tony Bennett(01 of20)

Long before finding success as the host of 'The Chase', Bradley played Danny Baldwin in 'Coronation Street', and took part in a Soap Stars special of 'Stars In Their Eyes' in 2005.

Eleven years on from paying homage to Tony Bennett, he'd release his first ever collection of swing standards, which would eventually be named 2016's highest-selling debut album. (credit:Ken McKay/Rex/Shutterstock/ITV/David Redfern/Getty)
Kerry Katona as Marilyn Monroe(02 of20)

Of course, if it's a TV show with 'celebrity' in the title, you can bet your bottom dollar that Kerry will have starred in it at some point or another.

In the 2006 Christmas special, she channelled Marilyn Monroe for a performance of 'Santa Baby' (not letting the fact that Marilyn never actually had a version of 'Santa Baby' slow her down for even a second). (credit:Dave J Hogan/Getty/Sunset Boulevard/Corbis)
Stephen Mulhern as Robbie Williams(03 of20)

He may now be known as one of the safest faces on telly, but in 2005, Stephen Mulhern showed off a very different side for this bare-chested rendition of 'Let Me Entertain You'. (credit:Barcroft Media/Getty/Rex/Shutterstock/ITV/Vevo)
Carol Vorderman as Cher(04 of20)

In the very first ever celebrity edition of 'Stars In Their Eyes', Carol threw on a leather skirt and the biggest wig she could lay her hands on to perform 'The Shoop Shoop Song' as Cher. (credit:Michael Ochs Archives via Getty Images/ITV/Rex/Shutterstock/David M Bennett)
Beverley Callard as Cher(05 of20)

While we're big fans of Vorders, it's hard to deny that she was outshone by Beverley Callard's efforts as the 'Believe' diva six years later.

Bev went the whole shebang with her outfit, even recreating the leather jacket and revealing leotard video Cher sported in the 'If I Could Turn Back Time' music video. (credit:Sipa Press/Rex/Shutterstock/ITV)
Jerry Springer as Elvis Presley(06 of20)

One of a few international stars to appear on 'Stars In Their Eyes', Jerry (Jerry! Jerry!) crossed the Atlantic to pay tribute to the King, singing 'Can't Help Falling In Love'. (credit:ITV/Rex/Shutterstock)
Suranne Jones as Madonna(07 of20)

Back when her 'Doctor Foster' TV Bafta was still barely a glimmer in the distance, Suranne was best known to 'Corrie' fans as machinist Karen McDonald.

In 2001, she and a number of her co-stars appeared in a 'Coronation Street' special of 'Stars In Their Eyes', and here she is giving her best Madonna. (credit:John Philips/Getty/ITV/Rex/Shutterstock/YouTube)

But Suranne wasn't the only lady of Weatherfield to put her spin on the Queen Of Pop, with the Leanne Battersby actress winning the Legends special with her take on Madonna's 'Frozen'.

Take that, Rhona Cameron as Judy Garland. (credit:Stuart C Wilson/Getty/Eugene Adebari/REX/Shutterstock)
Eamonn Holmes as Johnny Cash(09 of20)

While we're sure Ruth Langsford would probably rather put this to the back of her mind, Eamonn put his all into his performance as Johnny Cash, singing (what else?), 'Ring Of Fire'. (credit:Sipa Press/Rex/Shutterstock/ITV/Steve Meddle)
Yvette Fielding as Annie Lennox(10 of20)

That same year, 'Blue Peter' presenter and paranormal aficionada Yvette Fielding dug deep for her interpretation of Annie Lennox's 'No More I Love Yous'.

They both lost out to Dale Meeks and Mark Charnock (us neither), who performed as The Blues Brothers. (credit:Rex/Shutterstock/ITV/Vevo)
Brian Blessed as Luciano Pavarotti(11 of20)

Sometimes, the 'Stars And Their Eyes' team had their work cut out for them, and spent hours transforming celebrity contestants with the help of make-up, wigs and sometimes even prosthetics.

Other times... this was less necessary. (credit:SAV/Getty/ullstein bild/ITV/Rex/Shutterstock)
Harry Hill as Morrissey(12 of20)

Self-confessed Smiths devotee Harry Hill's appearance gave 'Stars In Their Eyes' one of its most memorable moments ever, when he performed 'This Charming Man' while swishing his flowers and tossing his quiff in true Morrissey fashion.

The illusion was only slightly broken by the fact he kept his specs on the whole time, mind you. (credit:Photoshot/Getty/Rex/Shutterstock/ITV/Martin ONeill)

On the same bill as Harry Hill was then-'Coronation Street' star and forever-HuffPost UK favourite, Denise Welch, who performed 'Downtown' as Petula Clark. (credit:Ken McKay/Rex/ITV/Shutterstock/George Konig)

He swapped his usual Pub Landlord attire for some 1970s garb and ditched the trademark pint glass for a guitar, but we'd still recognise him anywhere. Even in that wig. (credit:John Phillips/Getty/ITV/Rex/Shutterstock/Andre Csillag)

Having already more than proved himself as an Olympic runner, Linford Christie tried something a bit different when 2000, when he gave singing a go.

Sadly, his Ray Charles was no match for Claire Sweeney's Celine Dion. (credit:Can Nguyen/REX/Shutterstock/ITV/Mark Downey)
