ITV Starstruck future possibly confirmed by judge Jason Manford on social media

With the absence of X Factor and Britain's Got Talent on our television screens, ITV has made room for one unique and exciting new competition show on its channel - Starstruck!

After hype built around the show and what it was going to be like, as people flocked to social media to discuss the brand new ITV show.

When it released, Starstruck has since been attributed to Stars in Their Eyes - with ordinary people transforming into their favourite singers in order to battle it out on the big stage for cash.

In basic terms, Starstruck sees super fans and soundalikes of world famous music icons battle it out in threes to impress the judges - those judges being Jason Manford, Sheridan Smith, Adam Lambert and Beverley Knight.

At the end of every show, the judges decide which group of doppelgängers are the best, before choosing one of them to go through to the final.

In tonight's final, Edinburgh has it's very own Billie Eilish in the shape of Frankie Maddin - a 26-year-old ex-beauty worker who is in with the chance of winning £50,000!

And judge Jason Manford has possibly let the cat out of the bag with the future of the addictive new show, as he posted on his Instagram this message: "you reckon you could sing like your idol on the next series of Starstruck then why not put your money where your mouth is and enter."
