The Voice Kids 2020 contestants: Meet the teams in the semi-finals

Here’s a full recap of how The Voice Kids 2020 teams look for the upcoming semi-finals.

Series four of the The Voice Kids in the UK continued on Saturday with the second half of this year’s battle stages.

The new series brings a change to the coaches, with Paloma Faith joining the series alongside returning coaches Pixie Lott, Will.i.am and Danny Jones.

Both solo singers and double acts, aged seven to 14, were eligible to come and sing their hearts out at the blind auditions.

Those that got a turn progressed through to the battles where the coaches had to cut their teams down from 9 to just three.

In each battle, three acts faced off with the same song with their coach picking just one to progress through to the semi-finals.

Meet the contestants through to the semi-finals below…

What’s next on The Voice Kids?

Those who have got through the battles now face the semi-final.

The remaining singers will be singing to impress their coaches for one last time as each coach selects just one act per team to make it to the final and then the ultimate decision will be in the hands of the viewers at home.

The final four will perform in the final in the hope of winning the public vote. Win the competition and they’ll secure a £30,000 bursary towards their musical education as well as a family holiday to Orlando.

The Voice Kids airs Saturday nights on ITV.
