Olly Murs will present the new entertainment show, which will see talented members of the public take to the stage to perform as some of the world's biggest music icons, and four teams of three will battle it out each week to win the vote of the panel and virtual audience for a place in the final and to be in with the chance of winning £50,000.  

Sheridan said: "Growing up, I always loved watching Saturday night TV with my family so I’m thrilled to be joining 'Starstruck'.  

"Creating Cilla Black for TV, I know first-hand how much goes into becoming an iconic music star, so I can't wait to see what some of the contestants do with our modern music acts and true icons.

"And with everything else that’s going on at the moment, this is just the type of show we can all enjoy together!"

Adam added: "I am so excited to be involved in 'Starstruck'.

"I loved the idea from the moment I heard about it, and it’s going to be a lot of fun. I can’t wait to watch people transform into their idols!

"After the year everyone has been through, let’s come together through creativity and music and have a good time!"

Each episode will culminate in an exciting finale which sees the winning trio compete against each other for a place in the final and the chance to walk away with the five-figure sum.

Olly is eager to see if any of the public are going to try to impersonate him on the show, which has been dubbed a reboot of classic 'Stars in Their Eyes'.

He said: "I’m really excited to be hosting a big Saturday Night show like Starstruck.

"It ticks all the boxes; it’s about feel good, family fun which is something we all need right now.

"The performances should keep us well entertained and I can’t wait to see whether anyone wants to be transformed into me for the night!"
