Hit Me Baby One More Time is a 2005 ITV reality show on British television, presented by Vernon Kay. During each programme, five former popstars sing their biggest hit along with a cover version of a contemporary hit. Each week one winner will be picked from each show by a phone vote, leading to the grand final when the overall winner can release a single featuring both songs. The show's title comes from a line in the Britney Spears song "...Baby One More Time".
