The Vamps to help out on CBBC's The Big Performance

The Vamps are one of the acts enlisted to give advice on CBBC's next The Big Performance series.

The programme will see Gareth Malone give six talented children the task of creating and performing a song to commemorate 100 years since the start of the First World War.

A number of celebrity names will give songwriting tips to the kids, including 'Last Night' hitmakers The Vamps.

They will be joined by Pixie Lott, Conor Maynard, Katy B and Eliza Doolittle.

One song will ultimately be chosen to be performed at the programme's finale on 4 August.

Melissa Hardinge, executive producer for CBBC, commented: 'We are delighted that Gareth Malone is back on CBBC, inspiring a new group of children with this extraordinary songwriting challenge for the World War One anniversary. We hope that the series will encourage our young audience to trace their own family histories, and understand the importance of the international commemoration on August 4."
