What is ITV's Starstruck?

Starstruck is a brand new show which sees teams of super-fans transform into their idols to compete against other teams.

Hosted by Olly Murs, the competition sees four teams of celebrity fans undergo the ultimate makeover before going performing one of their hits on stage in front of the judges.

The judging panel will then decide their favourite team of the night before an audience vote picks just one person to go through to the series final.
