Series overview

Starstruck returns to our screen in 2023 and sees the Queen of Country Pop, Shania Twain joining the panel of judges for this season.  

The Canadian Grammy winning singer-songwriter will join the Saturday night entertainment format, which sees members of the public transformed into music icons. Shania will sit on the show’s judging panel alongside returning stars Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight and Jason Manford. Olly Murs will once again host the show. 

Starstruck launched on ITV in February 2022, with a consolidated 4.7 million tuning into its first episode, making the show one of the biggest new entertainment commissions of the year. 

In each episode, viewers will see contestants undergo the ultimate ‘superstar experience’, shedding their normal personas to become global icons, all courtesy of an elite team of glam and stylists overseeing an extraordinary on screen transformation. Series one featured performers impersonating stars including Harry Styles, Barbra Streisand, Elton John and Cher. 

Episode 5

Starstruck is the show where teams of superfans transform into their idol and take on their biggest songs.

Tonight, host Olly Murs welcomes the next four teams as they battle it out for a place in the final and a chance to win the £50,000 prize.

Each team will not only sing like their idol, but they will also become them in the ultimate showbiz makeover.

The star-studded panel featuring Queen frontman Adam Lambert, soul sensation Beverley Knight and comedian Jason Manford are joined this week by pop royalty Ronan Keating, to decide which team go into the sing-off.

It's then down the voting studio audience to pick just one person from that team to go through to the series final and have the chance to win £50,000.
