This year's final of The Voice UK might have been pushed all the way to autumn, but finally, we have a crowned champion.
In this evening's (November 14) show, four contestants remained: Brooke Scullion (under the tutelage of Meghan Trainor), Gevanni Hutton (Team will.i.am), Jonny Brooks (Team Tom Jones) and Blessing Chitapa (Team Olly Murs), but only one could take home that record deal.
Thanks to the virtual audience's vote – a first for the format – Blessing triumphed over Jonny in the final two.
