Find out who the Starstruck judges and host would transform into if they appeared on the show themselves.

Tonight ITV launches a brand new Saturday night entertainment show - Starstruck, hosted by Olly Murs.

Think of it as a Battle Royale version of Stars In Their Eyes, with three contestants each round doing their best impersonations of their common music idol.

Each episode the panel of judges - Beverley Knight, Adam Lambert, Jason Manford and Sheridan Smith - will pick their favourite trio before the studio audience selects one of the three to go on to the series finale.

But what if the tables were turned and the judges were up on stage instead? Scroll on to see who they'd choose to impersonate...

Beverley Knight

"Prince, all day long! I would lose some of this hair or braid it all down and put a wig on. I would love to transform into Prince.

"I want to know what it feels like for that minute and a half that the contestants are up there. I want to know what it feels like to be a musical genius, a genuine genius of music.

"I've been a Prince fan since I was tiny, I've got so much memorabilia, music, t-shirts, my key ring is the Love Symbol. I'm obsessed."

Adam Lambert

"I've been told that in some light, I resemble Elvis. I always take it as a great compliment. I would give that a go.

"I think I could probably pull that off. I can see myself wearing one of those jumpsuits with all the rhinestones all over it. That's a vibe."

Jason Manford

"With a bit of rehearsal I would probably do Neil Diamond. I reckon I could do a good Neil Diamond. I can do parodies of the Gallagher brothers and Gary Barlow - any Northern singer."


Sheridan Smith for Starstruck© ITV

Sheridan Smith

"It would be Dolly Parton without a shadow of a doubt. I am obsessed with her. My Mum and Dad were a country and western duo so I grew up with country music.

"A pair of fake boobs and a big blonde wig. I'd have to practice the voice but she is my idol so that's who I would want to be."


Olly Murs for Starstruck© ITV

Olly Murs

"Tom Jones. I've been working with him for the last few years and I feel like I know him well enough to be him. I might need a bit more work on the Welsh accent!

"I need to get the accent down and I need to somehow get my hair a little bit curlier. I think if I could master that then I've got Tom down."



Starstruck airs tonight at 8.30pm on ITV.
