Jeremy Front spends 24 hours in the company of self-styled people's diva Andrea Wickham.

Jeremy Front spends a day with self-styled people's diva Andrea Wickham. Featuring Sophie Ellis Bextor, Philip Pope and Brian Conley.

Rebecca Front (The Thick of It, Nighty Night, Just William, Grandma's House) brings us this series about five extraordinary and unforgettable characters in Incredible Women. 

In each programme less-than-intrepid interviewer Jeremy Front spends one night in the home of each of his interviewees. On their territory, he asks about their personal histories, plus we discover some shocking attitudes and some very odd things about the way they live their daily lives.

Today he meets Andrea Wickham, the renowned opera diva who has been making a lot of money recently with CDs of her versions of popular songs. He joins her on the eve of her latest project in which she has enlisted many A-listers to sing on a charity CD with her. But there is a 99 per cent drop out rate when they find out more about her chosen charity.

Featuring Sophie Ellis Bextor, Philip Pope, Brian Conley, Rebecca Front and Jeremy Front.

Producer: Claire Jones.
