From the makers of The Great British Bake Off and The Piano comes Your Song, a brand-new series hosted by Alison Hammond that gives ordinary people the chance to perform the one song that really tells their story.

A teenager with the most beautiful smile sings Bocelli for the foster mum he can't find words to thank. A kidney transplant recipient is so extraordinary that she brings Sam and Paloma sprinting out into the downpour.
