ITV Starstruck viewers ask if contestants are miming as fans wowed by 'off the scale' talent

The grand final of new ITV talent show Starstruck saw pop sound-alikes take to the stage to show off their singing talents in a gripping showdown. The show, presented by Olly Murs and judged by Adam Lambert, Sheridan Smith, Jason Manford and Beverley Knight, has transformed superfans into their music idols since its launch in February.

Three superfans formed a team and just one of them was then selected to go through to the live final for the chance to win a £50,000. And in the final six finalists from each team took to the stage again - Rob as Freddie Mercury, Rachael as Cher, Annastasia as Tina Turner, Frankie as Billie Eilish, Keeley as Barbra Streisand and Fil as Lionel Richie.

Viewers watching at home were blown away by the talent with some asking if they were miming. This was dispelled earlier in the series by ITV, judge Jason and host Olly.
