ITV CONFIRM SECOND SERIES OF STARSTRUCK FOR 2023

Starstruck sees ordinary members of the public with an exceptional talent team up to transform into some of the world’s biggest music icons.

Ahead of tonight's (2nd April 2022) series final, ITV have confirmed that it's ordered a second series to air in 2023 on ITV and ITVX (the new streaming platform launching later this year).

ITV's Head Of Entertainment, Katie Rawcliffe, said: "Starstruck has been a brilliant addition to our sparkling Saturday night schedule, with its stellar panel, stunning transformations and stand out vocals proving an instant hit amongst audiences."

Exec producer, Cat Lawson, added: “We couldn’t be prouder of this series. Full credit to our incredible host, panel and super talented contestants. We simply cannot wait to uncover more teams of secret superstars and give them the ultimate popstar glow-up.”

In the current series, hosted by Olly Murs, award winning singer and actress Sheridan Smith, Queen frontman Adam Lambert, comedian Jason Manford and the UK’s leading soulstress and musical theatre star Beverley Knight sit on the judging panel.

The format sees four teams of three battle it out each week to win the vote of the expert judging panel and virtual audience for a coveted place in the final and to be in with the chance of winning a whopping £50,000.

Each episode culminates in an exciting finale which sees the winning trio compete against each other for a place in the grand final and the chance to walk away with that life- changing sum of cash.

Starstruck concludes Saturday 2nd April at 8:30pm on ITV. Catch-up on ITV Hub. Host and judges for the second series will be officially confirmed in due course.
