Stars in Their Eyes
Soundmixshow

Starstruck is a British television talent series that has aired on ITV since 12 February 2022. It features a singing contest in which members of the public impersonate showbiz stars. The series is presented by Olly Murs with a judging panel, in the first series, consisting of Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight, Jason Manford and Sheridan Smith. Smith left the show after the first series due to other commitments and was replaced by Shania Twain. The series is described by some media outlets as a revived and reformatted version of Stars in Their Eyes. In September 2023, it was announced that the show had been cancelled after two series.

Background and history

[edit]

In March 2020, it was reported that ITV would replace The X Factor with a second revival/reformat of Stars in Their Eyes later in the year, however this time with a celebrity panel of judges.[1][2] In December 2020, new reports suggested that ITV would revive the show in Autumn 2021, under the new name of Starstruck, with Sheridan Smith, Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight and Jason Manford as judges.[3] In April 2021, it was reported that Olly Murs would host the show.[4] It began filming that month at ITV Studios Bovingdon, and was expected to air that summer. In August, ITV previewed Starstruck at the Edinburgh International Television Festival and in October, it was confirmed that the series would air in 2022.[5]

The show was finally scheduled for broadcast in February 2022, with the change to the format being that three 'tribute artists' will perform at the same time as each other, with four different music acts covered each week. Six 75 minute programmes were ordered by the network along with a 90 minute final which saw the winner take home a £50,000 prize.[6] The first series was won by Rachael Hawnt performing as Cher.[7]

In April 2022, ITV announced that Starstruck would be returning for a second season with the same judging panel.[8] However in August 2022, it was confirmed that Smith would not be returning as a judge for the second series due to schedule conflicts and filming commitments.[9] On 30 August 2022, Shania Twain announced via her Instagram channel that she would join series 2 as a judge. This was confirmed by ITV the next day.[10] The second series began airing on 18 February 2023 on ITV1 and ITVX,[11] and was filmed in September 2022 at ITV Studios Bovingdon.[12] Ronan Keating was a guest judge in place of Twain, who was absent due to schedule conflicts, for two episodes.[13] The series was won by Abbie Edwards performing as Adele.[14]

Cancellation

[edit]

In June 2023, it was reported that plans for a third series had been put on hold but could return in the future.[15] However in September 2023, presenter Olly Murs confirmed that the show had been axed.[16]
