GUTTED Olly Murs has revealed why ITV's Starstruck has been axed.<\/p>\n

The Olly-fronted Saturday night entertainment show saw wannabe performers dress as their favourite artists in a modern day twist on Stars In Their Eyes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Amateur singers belted out classic tracks in front of a star-studded panel featuring Beverley Knight, Shania Twain, Adam Lambert and Jason Manford.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sun at the National Television<\/span> Awards, Olly explained: "Presenting is something I have always loved doing. Starstruck was amazing but that isn\u2019t coming back.<\/p>\n

"I am gutted it is such a great show. In this game, things change so quickly. The ratings did really well but in terms of money and stuff like that, it just didn\u2019t work."<\/p>\n

The winners of each of its two series walked away with a whopping \u00a350,000 prize as a result of their pitch perfect singing efforts.<\/p>\n

Olly went on to admit he'd relish the return of another ITV entertainment show that has bitten the dust.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Sharing his thoughts on the possible return of The X Factor, he said: "I love any show that gives people a crack at this industry. If it wasn\u2019t for that show I wouldn\u2019t be here<\/p>\n

"Me and Simon are great, it\u2019s been a long time. Whether it\u2019s The X Factor or The Voice, there are so many voices that need to be heard. Working on the voice for me has always been an honour."<\/p>\n
