Charity You're A Star

Charity You're A Star

"Charity You're A Star" (initially known as "You're A Star Charity Special") is a talent contest created by Radio Telefís Éireann, where various Irish celebrities sing to raise money for the charity of their choice. The show is aired live from Dublin City University's theatre, The Helix.

The first season was named "You're A Star Charity Special" which was conceived to be variation of the parent rogramme "You're A Star". However it was much more successful that originally thought, so later seasons were called "Charity You're A Star" to imply more independence and permanence.

"You're A Star Charity Special"

On Tuesday 2 August, 2005 (at 21.30 IST) the You're A Star Charity Special made its debut. The special contained 8 Irish celebrity contestants who were coached by Twink (Irish pantomime star). The judging panel consisted of Louis Walsh, Linda Martin and Sunday Independent columnist Brendan O'Connor. Derek Mooney (known from RTÉ's Winning Streak) presented the special for the two weeks.

The Contestants

The final was held on 12 August 2007. The remaining two celebrities acts were Seán Bán Breathnach and The All Stars. The All Stars were the winners, performing "You Can Leave Your Hat On". The programme raised a record total of €384,520 for the ten Irish charities during its run.
