Ronan Keating is replacing Shania Twain on ‘Starstruck’.
Starting on Saturday (18.03.23), the ex-Boyzone star, 46, will sit in for the ‘Man! I Feel Like A Woman’ singer 57, on the ITV1 talent show for the next two weeks alongside the rest of the judging panel Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight and Jason Manford.
According to The Sun newspaper, Shania said: “I unfortunately missed two ‘Starstruck’ shows this season, but I'm hugely thankful and very lucky that a good friend of mine, Ronan Keating, was able to take my seat for those episodes! We've known each other for many years and I can tell you that Ronan will be the perfect judge – providing many laughs and great insight along the way. I’m SO excited to watch!”
Shania will return for the last two episodes, including on the finale of the ITV series.
Ronan said: “I’m honoured Shania entrusted me with the task.”
The news comes days after the ‘The One Show’ host became a grandfather after his son Jack, 23, who he had with his ex-wife Yvonne Connolly, 49, had a daughter.
Jack captioned an image of him cradling the newborn on his Instagram on Friday (10.03.23) with the caption: “Welcome to the world my little (princess emoji.)”
