Olly Murs pranked Jason Manford by revealing he had got a tattoo of his “idol”.
Olly Murs shows off his Jason Manford tattoo
The ‘Dance With Me Tonight’ hitmaker plays a joke on the star by showing off what appears to be a permanent inking of Jason's face on Olly's leg on Saturday night’s (25.02.23) episode of ‘Starstruck’.
While lifting up his trousers to showcase the temporary tat, the 38-year-old singer says: "I actually have a tattoo of my idol on me."
Responding, the 41-year-old stand-up comic - and judge on the ITV talent show alongside Shania Twain, Beverley Knight and Adam Lambert - says: "I'm laughing but I'm absolutely terrified."
Recently, ‘Starstruck’ host Olly said working alongside Shania on the show was a "pinch yourself moment" because he's admired her for years.
He explained: "It’s definitely a pinch-yourself-moment for me. To hear that Shania was doing the show I was like, ‘Wow. That’s another picture to put on the wall’.
"It’s one off the bucket list to meet Shania and be in her company – someone that I’ve admired from afar for so many years. It’s awesome.”
The talent series, which debuted in February last year, features a singing contest in which members of the public attempt to recreate musical hits by impersonating showbiz stars in a bid to win a £50,000 cash prize.
Olly added: “It’s happy, fell-good Saturday night television.
"This format works for me because I love music. I love performing for people and I love entertaining. If the right show comes along then I’ll do it.
"I’m trying to juggle a lot of things at the moment, but hosting is definitely something I’d like to do more of.
“Season two will have lots of surprised in store, It’s gone up a notch.”
‘Starstruck’ airs on Saturday at 8.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
