After the final round of The Voice UK 2021 battles, here are the contestants in the teams for the semi-finals.
The search for a new vocal super star continued this weekend as The Voice 2021 returned to ITV with its landmark tenth series.
will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Olly Murs are joined by new coach Anne-Marie for the new series.
As always, the first stage was the blind auditions where the contestants had to hold their nerve as they performed to the backs of the coaches. If any of the four like what they hear, they hit their buzzer to spin around and select that artist for their teams of ten.
They then went forward to the battles where acts faced off in a series of duets in order to win a place in the semi-finals.
Here’s how the teams look for the semi-final rounds after the battles were completed…
