The Voice UK winner Jermain Jackman has discussed his "overwhelming" victory in the BBC One singing programme.
The 19-year-old became the show's first male winner when he was crowned the series three champion in last night's (April 5) final, fighting off competition from Sally Barker and Christina Marie.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live this morning (April 6), Jackman revealed that his victory had not yet sunk in and spoke excitedly of his plans for the future.
He said: "It's just been so overwhelming. It still hasn't hit me yet - just what happened last night, on stage and the partying, seeing all the other contestants of the whole series has been so overwhelming.
"And having to go to bed late and then waking up early is something else, but I'm looking forward to working hard and getting all these things done."
He added: "It's going to be an experience that I'm going to cherish and going to love."

Londoner Jackman - a youth politician for the Labour Party - also explained why politics is so important to him, saying that he hopes to create change in his local community.
"Growing up you would see everything that's happening in your local community," he said. "You will see the lack of opportunities, you'll see the social injustice, you'll see the crime - and you want to have a role in that.
"You want to have an impact in the change in that. You want the generation below you to grow in an environment that is better.
"That's the whole thing why I got into politics, and I just joined my youth parliament and decided to do much more."
On whether he still hopes to become prime minister one day, the star added: "I want to use my success in music to give back to my community.
"Whether that'd be being prime minister or any other politician, I don't know, but I want to use my success in music to give back to my community."
Jackman also spoke of his hopes for the future and expressed his desire to "take over the world".
He said: "What's going to happen next is I'm going to record some music, release it and hopefully take over the world! ... I'm in for a bumpy ride, but I'm definitely going to work hard and make sure I can hold on and bear the ride."
Jackman has been flooded with well wishes from celebrities - including Cheryl Cole and Ed Miliband - since his win last night.
Cole called Jackman's mentor will.i.am while the show was live on air to congratulate the teenager on his performance.
