Jason Derulo is to appear as a judge on a new music competition series for BBC Three called Project Icon.

The singer will be joined by his long-time manager Frank Harris and fellow artist Becky Hill on the show, which will see them mentor eight aspiring recording artists over six episodes.

The winner will be rewarded with a US deal with Derulo's record label and will also be invited to perform at Radio 1 Big Weekend in 2023.

"The world of music has changed and being a superstar with staying power today requires a lot more than just singing," said Derulo.

"Project Icon is the first TV show that will challenge contestants on all realistic skills an artist today should have for a real shot at being an Icon."

BBC Three controller Fiona Campbell added: "This new series has all the ingredients we look for in a show for BBC Three. Big talent, super creative individuals and challenges that take inspiration from real-life trends and amplifies it.

"We have high hopes for it and we'll be looking for aspiring artists from all over the country."

The show - to be hosted by Jordan North - will air in early 2023.
