Hide AdFans of the show had their say on who would reach the final in a public vote via The Voice UK app, where they were asked to choose their favourite act from each of the four coaches.
Sheffield busker, Leona Jorgensen, was hoping to get the public vote of confidence, revealing that it would mean even more than impressing the show’s famous coaches, but, unfortunately, her journey on the show came to an end this weekend.
She was chosen by Anne-Marie on Saturday after belting out Holy by Justin Bieber and Chance The Rapper on the hit show.
The 26-year-old, who was already a familiar face to many Sheffielders after years spent performing to shoppers on The Moor, released a statement on her Instagram account thanking everyone for their support.
