Have seen him on the last series of The Voice, ITV bosses knew that he was the right choice to present Starstruck and would be a popular presenter with viewers.

Essex born Olly Murs has a great stage presence and is full of fun report Markmeets. Not only that, he knows exactly what it’s like to be on a TV show where you’re being judged.

“He has been on The Voice for four years and he made a name for himself on The X Factor as runner-up on the 2009 series report the sun and cannnot wait to get started on the show and thinks this is going to be a great launchpad for him doing more solo presenting work in the future.”

Sheridan Smith, Beverley Knight and Adam Lambert are set to star on the show as part of the judging panel, which will see four groups of three hopefuls transform into their favourite singer in a bid to win a place in the final and have a chance at getting the £50,000 prize money.
