Josh (30) from Foulridge said: "I am so proud and excited to announce that after months and months of not being able to tell anyone, I am now officially allowed to announce that I will be appearing on ITV' s brand new Saturday night prime time singing show Starstruck.

"To say this is one of my proudest moments is a huge understatement! I’ve worked my backside off to get opportunities like this and it’s definitely a huge dream come true!

"I’m not going to give too much more away as I want to wait for you all to see for yourselves what an amazing show this is going to be. I can’t say who I will be, so you’ll have to wait and see."

Auditions began way back in December 2020 and it took a couple of virtual auditions and around five in person auditions and call backs in London but after getting through thousands of other people who applied Josh was finally selected.
