ITV viewers were left complaining that the latest winner of Starstruck wasn't given their 'moment of glory' after their win on Saturday, as the fina came to an abrupt end.
After seeing of her fellow Adele soundalikes in an earlier round, Abbie Edwards battled it out against other doppelgangers in the finale of Starstruck's second series this weekend, in front of host Olly Murs, judges Jason Manford, Beverley Knight, Adam Lambert and Shania Twain, the studio audience and millions of viewers at home.
Looking very much like Adele from the Brits 2011, Abbie sang Someone Like You as she bid for victory against tributes to the likes of Ed Sheeran and Beyonce. And, after the studio audience had their say, it was Abbie's name that Olly called as champion.

The 27-year-old looked in shock when the Starstruck final result was announced and, as she regained her composure, many viewers at home assumed she'd be given another chance to sing and prove just why she was a worthy winner.
But, as Olly rushed to end the show, credits rolled without Abbie getting to perform again. And the move did not go un-noticed on Twitter, with one fan writing: "Hold on...they didn't even give the winner time to sing at the end on #Starstruck?"
Also disappointed by the frantic way the show was wrapped up, a second tweeted: "Why didnt they have the winning contestant "Adele" song at the end of the show, a real anticlimax.. They didnt even thank the rest of the contestant's .. Like oh quick vote,. Adele wins.. Bye!!! All that and not a finale song!!"
