Why is Shania Twain not on Starstruck? Ronan Keating replaces singer on ITV give 'ambiguous' reason

There was a change of personnel on Saturday's episode of Starstruck as new judge Shania Twain was replaced on the panel by Ronan Keating, with viewers left speculating after neither gave any real explanation as to why the shake-up happened.

There was shock amongst ITV viewers and music fans alike when You're Still The One star was confirmed to be joining the ranks on the Saturday night guilty pleasure, replacing Sheridan Smith, who was a permanent fixture in the panel last year. So far on the new series of Starstruck, Shania has cast an eye and ear to all manner of soundalikes, including tribute to Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and Tom Jones.

And things got very weird for the country icon when she then had to sit and watch three singers transform into her right in front of her very eyes to perform one of her many hits.
