Jason Manford was rivalling Adam Lambert in the extravagant outfit stakes as they both made their latest appearance on Starstruck.
The ITV singing competition, which sees a trio transform into an iconic artist before only one person from one of the groups gets chosen to go through to the final to win a cash prize, returned to screens on Saturday night after being missing from the TV schedule last weekend.
The episode saw members of the public recreate stars' performances including Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Amy Winehouse, and Lionel Richie.

And Salford-born comedian Jason got viewers talking once again thanks to his dazzling suit.
He joined co-stars Adam, Sheridan Smith, and Beverley Knight for the penultimate episode of the series on Saturday night (March 26) while donning a very smart blue suit that had been covered in sparkly diamante crystals.
Olly Murs even brought up the dazzling look at the start of the show. "Jason, love the blazer again this week," the singer-turned-host said. "What you got on it this time?" Olly then asked.
"Well..." Jason replied. "Basically, I had 20 minutes and I popped to Hobbycraft," he joked as Sheridan said: "He's trying to give Adam a run for his money," as the Queen star wore his own intricately detailed blazer with gold cravat.
"I try and keep it up every time I get here," Jason admitted. "Otherwise I end up looking like an assistant headteacher on the end of the row," he added to laughs from the audience and his co-stars.
But Starstruck viewers couldn't help but make the same comment about his blazer jacket.
