Tonight saw Rachel as Cher storm to victory as Starstruck returned to ITV for the grand final, with each of its six finalists going head-to-head in order to win the prize money.
In the end, Rachel was victorious with her spot-on depiction of Cher, beating Rob as Freddie Mercury, Annastasia as Tina Turner, Frankie as Billie Eilish, Keeley as Barbra Streisand and Fil as Lionel Richie.
After being announced as the winner, Rachel, who looked visibly shocked, could hardly contain how overwhelmed she felt.
Speaking to the judges she said: ‘I feel like I’m walking around on a dream, I can’t say anything I don’t know what to say. I’m dumbstruck let alone star struck, I don’t know what so say.’
The show, which is presented by Olly Murs and judged by Adam Lambert, Sheridan Smith, Jason Manford and Beverley Knight, sees teams of superfans battle it out to transform into their idols in very special performances.
In the grand final, each contestant performs just one song for the chance to win the massive £50,000 prize money.
