The second episode of ITV's hit drama Cilla returns to screens tonight.

The rags to riches story of the singer turned successful TV presenter was written by Jeff Pope and dramatised in three parts. Sheridan Smith plays the eponymous star, with Aneruin Barnard starring as future husband Bobby.

Smith has received plaudits for her acting and singing performance.

In tonight's episode, Cilla suffers a crisis of confidence after a poor audition for Brian Epstein (Ed Stoppard). But he soon changes his mind after hearing sing in a club in Liverpool and ends up becoming her manager.

Together the pair launch a new record, penned by Lennon and McCartney. But after it flops in the charts, Epstein suggests a change in direction, culminating in the performance of Anyone Who Had a Heart.

The first episode pulled in almost seven million viewers.

Cilla is on ITV tonight at 9pm
