An Edinburgh singer, and former make-up artist, has made it to the final of ITV show Starstruck, where contestants transform into their favourite musicians and perform in front of the star judges.

26-year-old Frankie Madden got emotional after it was revealed that she had made it to the final of the ITV show, beating fellow Billie Eilish lovers Amy and Claudia.

The Team Eilish group sang the Grammy-award winning song 'No Time To Die', which had been written for the new 007 movie of the same title.
