Starstruck is holding fans spellbound on Saturday nights as superfans transform into their musical icons. Tonight (Saturday March 4) one singer in particular drew gasps as he took to the stage as singing superstar Ed Sheeran.
Starstruck sees four teams of superfans transform into their idol for a performance of one of their classic songs. Each team experiences a star makeover as they transform into the icon before stepping onto the stage on the ITV show.
Viewers watching at home and star judges Adam Lambert, Jason Manford, Beverley Knight and Shania Twain were amazed by Callum, who they thought both looked and sounded uncannily like Shivers and Bad Habits hitmaker Ed, 32. Jason even quipped that he thought they were being pranked by Ant and Dec.

Viewers flocked to Twitter to have their say. @gracegrxnde gasped: "THIS IS UNCANNY OMG ED???? @SR4Work remarked: "Callum has a beautiful voice… and obviously is Ed’s twin."
@GeorgiaBowring said: "#Starstruck If Callum had a guitar with him he’d be Ed’s twin seriously!" @mistermemoryman said: "If you’ve got both the look and the voice you are unbeatable." And @lindsayjarch wrote: "Just watched my first full episode of #Starstruck and I've seen one absolute carbon copy of Ed Sheeran."
