Starstruck prize revealed as ITV singing competition crowns its winner

The prize for the winner of ITV’s Starstruck has been revealed.

Starstruck is the TV series where contestants transform into their music idols for a very special performance.

The show sees host Olly Murs welcome teams of superfans to go head-to-head before one is voted into the final.

Starstruck’s first series concludes tonight as acts inspired by Freddie Mercury, Barbra Streisand and Billie Eilish battle it out in a bid to be crowned winner.

The champion will walk away with a life changing cash prize of £50,000.

In the final, the star-studded panel featuring Queen frontman Adam Lambert, award winning actress Sheridan Smith, soul sensation Beverley Knight and comedian Jason Manford are on hand to offer words of support and congratulate each finalist.

Once everyone has performed it is down to the voting audience to pick the Starstruck winner and that person will walk away with the prize money.
