Starstruck!
Emotional: Sheridan Smith 'had a moment' when a group of Amy Winehouse impersonators took to the stage on her new show Starstruck (pictured with Adam Lambert, Olly Murs, Beverley Knight and Jason Manford)
'Sheridan had a couple of moments with Amy Winehouse, who she knew. Adam watching Freddie Mercury, that was a moment.'
Starstruck sees teams of superfans transform into their idol and perform in front of judges Sheridan, Jason, Beverley Knight and Adam Lambert.
Four teams of three will battle it out each week to win the votes of the judges and the virtual audience with the winning trio then competing against each other for a place in the final and a chance to win a cash prize of £50,000.
Jason added: 'I love Saturday night telly and to be on a show where a, it’s not just a load of celebrities having a jolly. It’s real people getting a chance to live their dream.
'It’s not necessarily about the prize money, it’s the performance on that night that’s the prize.'
It comes after Amy's best friend Tyler James previously credited Sheridan with saving Amy's life after an overdose two years before her death.
The star found Amy close to death after she had drunk an entire bottle of Night Nurse and raised the alarm.
The Sun reported that even though Amy had been taken to hospital several times, it was the only occasion she ended up at A&E after drinking or taking drugs.
The Back To Black singer tragically passed away aged 27 on the 23 July 2011 due to alcohol poisoning.
He told the publication: 'Sheridan saved Amy's life two years before she died. Sheridan was an angel who always did her best for Amy.
'She would have been dead years earlier if it hadn't been for Sheridan. I will always be grateful to her because she gave me that extra time with Amy.
'Sheridan was an amazing friend to Amy. And Amy was to her. They both had demons and mental health issues to face and they helped each other through them. She was a true friend.'
Tyler's book My Amy tells the story of the icon's troubled life after the pair met at London's Sylvia Young Theatre School when they were both teenagers.
Amy and Sheridan first met in 2009 at a live music event and hit it off straight away, Tyler said in the book.
He explained how he could remember the day Amy nearly died 'as though it was yesterday' after being woken up by Sheridan at 6am who told him there was 'something wrong with Amy'.
He claimed he found her washing up at the sink but her 'eyes looked like they were asleep' before he asked Sheridan what Amy had taken.
Tyler said that Amy had drunk an entire bottle of Night Nurse to help her get to sleep but it contained enough paracetamol to kill her.
Tyler and Sheridan then called an ambulance and she was taken to A&E in an 'incoherent' state.
He claimed if Sheridan hadn’t found her 'it would have been the end'.
Starstruck airs on ITV on Saturday February 12 at 8.30pm.
