Sheridan Smith decides not to take part in the new series of ITV's Saturday night hit Starstruck.

ITV has confirmed that Sheridan Smith will not return as a judge on the upcoming second series of Starstruck.

The show, which sees members of the public impersonate their favourite music artists, was a surprise hit when it aired on Saturday night earlier this year.

Actress and singer Smith, 41, was part of a judging panel that also included Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight and Jason Manford but will not be part of the next edition due to other work commitments.

A spokesperson told The Sun: "We would have loved Sheridan to have returned to the show, but she has sadly had to decline due to scheduling conflicts with a new acting project.

"The team loved working with her.

"She was a fantastic judge and provided some invaluable feedback to the contestants. We wish her all the best."

The new series is expected to be filmed later this year for broadcast in early 2023.
