It has been confirmed that Australian idol finalist, Australian heart throb and music theatre star Rob Mills will be the host of Channel 10’s revival of the Young Talent Time series.
Young Talent Time ran on Channel 10 from 1971 until 1988, creating stars such as Danni Minogue, Tina Arena and Debra Byrne. Originally presented and produced by Johnny Young, the show was famed for closing each episode with a sing-along rendition of The Beatles song ‘All My Loving’.
After much speculation over the last few weeks, Mills confirmed rumours that he would be hosting the show on his twitter account.
“Yes, rumors are true. I’m the new host of @channelten new show #YoungTalentTime! So ridiculously excited! Met the great man tonight…LEGEND”, he said.
‘Millsy’, as he is affectionately known, was a finalist in 2003 Australian Idol series and landed the role of Fiyero for the Australian Premiere of Stephen Schwartz’s blockbuster musical, Wicked. Most recently, Mills appeared opposite Marika Aubrey in Jason Robert Brown’s one act musical The Last Five Years at the Seymour Centre, Sydney.
Hopefully the resurrection of this program will see a revived interest in wholesome, accessible ‘family entertainment’ for which Young Talent Time was renowned. Will the new series end with Millsy singing ‘All My Loving’ or will the show find a new anthem?
