ITV Starstruck viewers can’t unsee Jon Bon Jovi’s contestant’s resemblance to comedian

Viewers tuning in to ITV’s Saturday night show Starstruck were stunned by a contestant’s resemblance to a well known comedican, despite meaning to look like Jon Bon Jovi. Team Jon Bon Jovi were first up to perform in front of judges Jason Manford, Beverley Knight, Shania Twain and Adam Lambert.

The team - which consisted of Lee, Jon and Ash - transformed into American singer Jon Bon Jovi and all donned long-haired wigs. After they’d given a rendition of ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’, the trio were congratulated for their singing efforts by the judges.

While they were all also complimented on their looks, people at home couldn’t help but notice that Lee looked like the spitting image of Rob Beckett.
