Scottish contestant appears on ITV's Starstruck to strut it out as Harry Styles

A Scottish contestant has followed in Edinburgh finalist Frankie's footsteps in performing on ITV's brand new competition show Starstruck, hosted by Olly Murs.

The Falkirk man, Steffan, appeared on the talent competition show on Saturday night as stylish musician Harry Styles, alongside his teammates Joe and Brandon.

The judges were wowed by Steffan's performance of Harry Styles platinum-winning song 'Watermelon Sugar', which they performed in front of the star-studded judging panel.

After the performance, judge Jason Manford said: "I thought this was another hard one tonight, to just go and be the sexiest man on the planet! Now that is a big ask, and you've all really came out with such confidence and swagger.

"Like Harry, you were confident, but you weren't smug, and that must be tempting when you are the world's sexiest man, to be a bit smug about it. Well done boys, you've absolutely nailed it!"

Self-confessed Harry Styles fan Adam Lambert agreed, saying: "I had so much fun, that was amazing!

"What's so cool about this team is that each of you have a piece of Harry's voice. He's super cool, he's chill, Joe I think you captured the relaxed, laid-back vibe that Harry gives us.

"Steffan, you have his smokey, kind of throaty thing that we love about Harry's voice, and Brandon, you hit that big note, that high note, that's not easy! And you hit it dead on.

"I think, as a team, I'm really impressed with you guys, I thought that was fantastic!"

Sadly, Steffan and his fellow Styles teammates did not make it to the final sing-off, as Team Streisand deservedly took the win to go head to head in the final part of the show.

The next episode of ITV show Starstruck will air on the channel in two weeks, as the Six Nations Live coverage provided a schedule shake-up for next week, kicking the show off air for one day.

The sixth instalment of ITV's Starstruck will continue on Saturday March 26, at the same time of 8:30pm.
