I don't know what software you're using but if it's Photoshop or something similar, I've seen it done with custom brushes and just clicking to paint it in. There should be tutorials around for it.
There are also probably apps that automatically add it for you.

Sure. Again, the model of flash doesn't matter much for these purposes.

You're talking about two different things here.
Like I said before, shadow placement is about light placement and angle. In your first linked example, see how the shadow of the subject is pushed off further to the right, suggesting the flash is located a little further to the left to cast the shadow that way. I'd want the flash off-camera or at least on a bracket to get that distance. Whereas the other linked examples show the shadows going more directly back, or offset to a lesser degree. You want the flash on-camera for that look.
I also previously mentioned that shadow hardness/softness is a matter of the apparent size of the light. A softbox increases the apparent size for softer shadows. But the examples you linked have harder shadows, like from a bare flash.
Just because a flash reviewer is using it one way doesn't mean that's the way you should use it for every purpose and look. That would be like watching a video review of a pickup truck where they're seeing how much gas mileage they can get on the freeway, and then expecting you should do the same things with the truck when pulling a heavy trailer up a hill. Different situations and goals call for different technique.
First of all WOW. Thank you for replying to me in depth by breaking down each point, genuinely appreciate it!
I didn't think of the star filter which is something I will definitely look into now as well, also if I was to do it in post do you know how I would be able to do it?
With regards to the flash, I was looking at a GODOX TT685S https://www.amazon.co.uk/TT685S-Wireless-Trigger-Speedlite-LETWING/dp/B01J3AUW2I/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=Godox+TT685s&qid=1555095326&s=gateway&sr=8-4
Do you think this would do the job to get results like those portraits in the imgur link or would you recommend a better option?
Also I know this may sound like a stupid question but with the flash would you keep it mounted on the camera because I've been watching some youtube reviews of different flashes and they use a softbox for the flash rather than keeping it mounted on the camera.
Thank you again for replying like you have done!
