Chanel – who revealed she decided to apply for the show while in the bath – got Anne-Marie to turn immediately for her take on the hit song.
Anne-Marie said: “I turned very quickly because I just heard your tone of voice and knew it was special. I just didn’t have to wait any longer. I’m really happy no one else turned. I think you’re really strong and these lot should be scared.”
Sir Tom added: “It sounded great to me and with Anne-Marie turning you don’t have anything to worry about, you deserve to be on this show.”
Meanwhile Olly said: “Why did I not press the button for you?! Thank God you took the bath!”
Other acts on this week’s blind auditions included 31-year-old Wura who impressed with a cover of Strange by Celeste who joined Team Tom and 27-year-old Alex Harry who performed idontwannabeyouanymore by Billie Eilish to win a place on Team Olly.
With Emma Willis again at the helm, The Voice UK continues Saturday nights on ITV.
