That's the beauty of it you know.He added: "And you'll be the talk of the town for however long and you know you might get a few bookings at your local pub or wedding or whatever and you'd say 'as appeared on Starstruck' but it's not that sort of show."Beverley agreed with his sentiment and chimed: "It's not kind of 'oh my life depends on this'.
