Hosted by Maya Jama, Glow Up returns with a Red Nose Day twist! This one-off special will see five brave celebrities, Lady Leshurr, Nikki Lilly, Roman Kemp, Snoochie Shy and The Vivienne, attempt to become make-up artists (MUAs). In a battle of the brushes like no other, only one can be crowned the Glow Up Red Nose Day champion. Under the watchful eye of Glow Up’s resident judges, Val Garland and Dominic Skinner, the celeb MUAs are sent on an industry assignment to create the make-up looks for a Red Nose Day runway show. Walking the runway are superstar models Leomie Anderson, Drag Race UK’s A’Whora, YouTuber and content creator Nella Rose as well as UK modelling royalty Kenza and Eva Apio. The iconic Dame Zandra Rhodes joins Val and Dominic as guest judges to help oversee the make-up artistry, and world-renowned photographer Rankin joins to shoot the celeb MUA’s make-up looks.
Returning to Glow Up as a surprise guest judge is make-up megastar NikkieTutorials, who will keep a close eye on the six competing MUAs as they try to wow with their recycled looks.
Visual artist Alexis Stone judges five competing MUAs' creative brief: master of disguise. They also work on Casualty doing special FX make-up for a place in the semi-final.
