Starstruck viewers were gutted during the latest episode after singer Shania Twain was missing from the ITV show.
The super fan programme returned to screens on Saturday night (March 18) with contestants taking on the chance to imitate their favourite artists.
But avid viewers were faced with a drastic change, as Boyzone singer Ronan Keating joined Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight and Jason Manford on the judging panel- replacing Shania.

Another said: “Where the chuff is Shania?!” While a third added: “Aww, no Shania,” adding a crying emoji.
But others were loving Ronan on the show, with one fan writing: “Ronan is doing a brilliant job guest judging on tonight’s #Starstruck.
“I’ve seen him as a judge on X Factor Australia on YouTube he won with Altiyan Childs in 2010 and Marlisa Punzalan in 2014 well done Ronan!”
At the start of the programme, presenter Olly Murs did mention why Shania was missing from the line-up.

He told viewers: “She’s off tending to superstar duties in Las Vegas but we’re delighted to have Ronan Keating.”
Sharing his excitement, Ronan said: “I’m so excited to be here. I’ve been speaking to Shania over the last few weeks and she’s been telling me how much she loves this show.”
During Saturday’s episode, fans were treated to singers taking on their favourite stars such as Bruno Mars, Rihanna and Frank Sinatra.
But although many were impressed by the contestant’s singing abilities and likeliness, others thought the judges couldn’t hear the singer’s properly as they appeared blown away by the vocalists – which some viewers disagreed with.

Taking to Twitter, fans of the show shared their thoughts once again.
One person wrote: “Not entirely convinced that these judges can hear properly.”
Another complained: “Watched the last series of #Starstruck and given it the benefit of the doubt this time .. but never again! Absolutely awful – the studio obviously hear it so much differently to us at home!! Awful!!”
While a third said: “Maybe they think we’ll be drunk enough on a Saturday night by this point to believe what the judges say.”
