When does ITV's Starstruck finale air and who are the finalists

The series finale of Starstruck airs tonight, April 2, at 8:30pm

The spiritual successor to the hit 90s ITV show Stars In Their Eyes will be bidding a farewell to its viewers. Allowing a batch of ordinary individuals to flex their singing skills, they must face off in several heats as one of their musical idols.

Those who make it through each week will be asked to return in the grand finale where one lucky contestant could win a hefty cash prize of £50,000. The finale was originally supposed to air March 19 but had to make way for the Six Nations rugby tournament.

The judging panel includes comedian Jason Manford, singer Beverley Knight, actress Sheridan Smith and singer Adam Lambert who will all be bringing their industry knowledge to cheer on the contestants. Olly Murs also joins the team as their regular host. The finalists include Rob Lea as Freddie Mercury, Rachael Hawnt as Cher and Anastasia Baker as Tina Turner.

Rounding out the cast is Frankie Madden as Billie Eilish, Keeley Smith as Barbra Streisand and Fil Straughan as Lionel Ritchie. Despite a judging panel, the winner will be decided by an audience vote.

The Starstruck finale airs April 2 at 8:30pm. You can catch it live on ITV or catch up later on the ITVHub.
