Olly Murs said: I'm really excited to be hosting a big Saturday Night show like Starstruck. It ticks all the boxes; it's about feel good, family fun which is something we all need right now. The performances should keep us well entertained and I can't wait to see whether anyone wants to be transformed into me for the night!

Sheridan Smith said: Growing up, I always loved watching Saturday night TV with my family so I'm thrilled to be joining Starstruck. Creating Cilla Black for TV, I know first-hand how much goes into becoming an iconic music star, so I cant wait to see what some of the contestants do with our modern music acts and true icons. And with everything else that's going on at the moment, this is just the type of show we can all enjoy together!
Adam Lambert said: I am so excited to be involved in Starstruck. I loved the idea from the moment I heard about it, and it's going to be a lot of fun. I can't wait to watch people transform into their idols! After the year everyone has been through, let's come together through creativity and music and have a good time!
Jason Manford said: After years of being on stage, judged every night, it's my turn to sit and do the judging! I adore talented people, so I'm very proud to be part of a show that's going to let them show off. Theyre ticking off a super entertaining bucket list moment and we get to be part of it.
