LOS ANGELES, June 4 (UPI) -- Singers Mel B. and Joey Fatone have signed on as the hosts of the new U.S. singing competition series "The Singing Office," TLC said Wednesday.

The new series, in which Mel B. and Fatone search for talent in offices across the United States, is set to debut June 29.

"It's been great getting people to show off their singing talents and giving them a chance to live out their dreams on stage. You can tell they're loving this unexpected opportunity," Fatone said in a statement.

"It's been a blast -- we have found some amazing singers right there on the job. I think we've uncovered some real talent and it's been amazing giving everyday people a chance of a lifetime," Mel B. added.

"The Singing Office' is an exciting adventure for these workplaces, and for the viewers. It's all about bringing coworkers together in ways that work can never do. Imagine the boss singing and dancing with the receptionist, or the delivery driver hitting high notes with the COO," explained Brent Zacky, TLC's vice president of programming. "We think this series will make people think twice about the individuals they work with -- do you really know what hidden talents are in your office?"
