The Voice UK 2018 hit our screens again tonight for the sixth round of blind auditions on ITV.
Global music legends will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson, Sir Tom Jones and Olly Murs are this year’s coaches and on the search for the best vocal talent that Britain has to offer.
Up for grabs is a record deal with Polydor Records but to be in with a chance contestants must first win a spot on one of the four teams.
And as the blind auditions draw to a close, that’s getting incredibly difficult.
Each of the coaches is looking to build teams of ten acts for the battle rounds and the numbers of available spots have been falling each week.
Ahead of tonight’s show, Teams Olly, Will and Tom both had only two free places while Team Jennifer was after four more acts.
As always, the first stage is the blind auditions where the contestants have 90 seconds to impress the coaches with their voices alone.
Sat with their backs to the contestants, if the coaches like what they hear, they hit their buzzer to spin around and select that artist for their teams. If more than one coach spins then it’s up to the act to pick which team to join.
Here’s how the six round of blind auditions played out tonight…
