Singer/songwriter Odhran Murphy was watching a football match when he got a call from ITV to tell him his track Stars was part of the show’s soundtrack that night.

With only minutes to spare before the episode started, Odhran left the match and raced home, just in time for the show.

The romantic ballad, inspired by the musical The Greatest Showman, was used during a recoupling scene and prompted huge interest among viewers, with thousands turning to music app Shazam to find out the artist’s identity.
