Finally, it's happening: the UK version of Lip Sync Battle is here, kicking off on Channel 5 this Friday. Mel B and Professor Green are hosting and the first celebrity contestants to go head-to-head - and mime their hearts out to our favourite songs - are David Walliams and Alesha Dixon.

Frankly, we can't wait to see Walliams' version of Missy Elliot's Work It - but to get you in the mood, we've picked out the ten best battles from the US...

Channing Tatum does Frozen's Let ItGo

Complete with Elsa costume and snow-scattering, dancing snowflake back-up dancers, Channing is the perfect example of how to triumph on Lip Sync Battle: leave you dignity at the door and damn well go for it.

Anna Kendrick doesJ.Lo's Booty

Clearly her time on the Pitch Perfect movies has paid off - check out those moves. Hold on for an appearance by actual Jennifer Lopez at the end of the song.

The Rock does Taylor Swift's ShakeIt Off

Who knew the man could shimmy? (Skip straight to 0:56 to see the magic happen).

Anne Hathaway does MileyCyrus' Wrecking Ball

Now this is how you do it. Anne goes all out with the white pants and an actual wrecking ball. Can't. Stop. Watching.

Emily Blunt does Blackstreet's NoDiggity

She may have lost out to Anne's epic version of Wrecking Ball - but Blunt gave her a run for her money, throwing down some rhymes like a pro.

Justin Bieber does OzzyOsbourne's Crazy Train

It's amazing what a wig and some guy-liner can do. And he's totally nailed Ozzy's wild-eyed expression, too.

Julianne Hough does The Lonely Island'sJust Had Sex

So Julianne's brother, Derek Hough, was on the show with her - and had to sit through an excruciating few minutes as his sister bumped and grinded her way through this. Worth watching for his expression alone.

Jimmy Fallon does Madonna's Like APrayer

Jimmy is the father of celebrity lip sync showdowns - the show is actually a spin-off from a segment on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Watch a lip-syncing pro at work:

Taraji P. Henson does Madonna's MaterialGirl

Madonna is always good Lip Sync fodder - and Empire's Taraji P. Henson is almost as imperious as the Queen Of Pop herself. Extra points for nailing the lift with the dancers.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt does Janet Jackson's Rhythm Dancer

One of our all time favourites - we've saved the best til last. We reckon even Janet would be impressed.
