The Voice UK 2020’s latest contestants in the live shows have been confirmed after tonight’s knockouts.
Ella Eyre, Ellie Goulding, Shania Twain and Little Mix star Jesy Nelson all joined Meghan Trainor, Olly Murs, Sir Tom Jones and will.i.am respectively as their guest mentors for The Knockouts.
In the knockouts, each of the coaches will select two of their acts to go through to the live semi-final which means 16 acts will be knocked out of the competition.
Last weekend saw the first half of the knockouts as four acts made it through and eight were sent home. Tonight, the knockouts conclude as four more won their way through to the live shows.
However its not over for those eliminated just yet. One lucky singer will be saved with the return of The Voice wild card Lifeline vote, allowing the public to vote to put their favourite into the semi-final.
Following this weekend’s second Knockouts show (Saturday 21st March) a vote opened via the official app for the public to have their say on which of the 16 performers set to leave the contest to offer The Lifeline to.
Here’s a full recap of all the results from this weekend as the coaches each chose their second act for the live semi-final…
