Channel 5 have announced that they will be broadcasting Lady Gaga & The Muppets' Holiday Spectacular in the UK.

The special will see Lady GaGa teaming up with The Muppets for special performances of songs from her latest album ARTPOP as well as comedy sketches and a sneak peek at the forthcoming film Muppets Most Wanted.

Katie Keenan, head of acquisitions with Channel 5, said: "What a combination: world-class performer Lady Gaga together with the greatest family entertainers, The Muppets! This special will be a real treat for Channel 5 viewers this Christmas."

The special will also feature special guest appearances from Elton John, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and RuPaul.

Gaga previously said of the special: "I knew it wouldn't be a complete night of laughter and memories without The Muppets! Can't wait to see the gang again and I hope Miss Piggy's not still mad about Kermit. We're just friends!"

The singer has reportedly filmed a cameo appearance in the upcoming film Muppets Most Wanted, which hits UK cinemas on March 28, 2014.

Her most recent album ARTPOP topped the UK charts when it was released earlier this month.

Fingers crossed this won't be as bad as "Studio DC: Almost Live".
